You may have seen our post on Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Day, but did you know September is also Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month? The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) wants everyone to shine the spotlight on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and many PatientsLikeMe members have already shared their stories – Lori documented her journey from diagnosis to transplant in a 4-part blog interview series, along with Barbara and John.
We also wanted to pause for just a minute to recognize PatientsLikeMe member Bryan. He joined the community in 2013 after being diagnosed with IPF and was an inaugural member of our Team of Advisors.
We are sad to share that last month, Bryan passed away, and all of our thoughts are with his family, friends and fellow PatientsLikeMe community members. But even though Bryan may no longer be with us, his memory and data live on. The experiences he shared will help drive change in IPF and in healthcare. We can think of no better way to pay tribute than to share his recent video with everyone. Bryan, you will be missed.
In Memoriam Bryan Kincaid
