Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
September was supposed to be Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month but, probably because it was eclipsed by the Queen's death and ensuing events, I hadn't seen or heard anything about it in the media so an email a few days ago from Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis informing me of their Petition to Parliament prompted me to do my bit to spread the word and get signatures for the petition. They have received around 5k signatures in a few days but will need many more to achieve attention from the government, a hard task in the current environment. Those of you who know anything about this horrible terminal illness might like to sign it: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622481.
Those who have never heard of it (I hadn't till diagnosed) or would like to know more, can inform themselves via this link, after which they will, I hope, also like to sign it::

Thank you in advance for your support.

Re: Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
Thanks, both. Please spread the word amongst your pals and families. I wonder how many Fools follow this board.

Re: Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
I'd love to know how many of those signatures which have been added since my post were from Lemons. Needless to say, if any of you have any cash to spare after being told what your energy bills will amount to and have any gains left in your share portfolio and wish to make a donation to APF for research, it will be gratefully received. Many a mickle makes a muckle and every little helps!
Thanks to all for your support.

Done.
My son had infective endocarditis, scary time. Happy to help in a small way.

Re: Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
Many thanks, Imbiber. That's another problem I had to look up. Sounds very nasty.
