September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Month

 
CPFF is asking everyone to invite your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, your MP, your MPP, and your local Councillor to all blow bubbles for someone who can’t.
 
Post your pictures of blowing bubbles onto our Facebook and twitter it out to your network with #CPFFBubbles. Tell us who you are blowing bubbles for by sending a photo and story to admin@cpff.ca
 
We’ll collect these stories to post onto our website, to share the faces of Pulmonary Fibrosis!

When you send your pictures or videos, along with your stories, it is assumed that you have given CPFF permission to use them on our website and in our printed materials.


Parkash Kaur Ahluwalia Maloni Legacy Fund

Parvinder Maloni believes it was his late mother’s intervention that sent him the life-saving gift of a donor lung on Mother’s Day, 2018, five years after his diagnosis with pulmonary fibrosis. It was a medical intervention that was not available to his mother Parkash Kaur Ahluwalia Maloni, when she succumbed to the same disease in 1997 at the age of 73.

“Our breath is life and my mother was the breath that gave life to her family and all the generations and friendships that came from her love. And event after death, she continues to watch over our whole family and she blessed me in my greatest time of need,” says Parvinder.
 
In honour of his mother, Parvinder is establishing the Parkash Kaur Ahluwalia Maloni Legacy Fund with the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (CPFF). He is reaching out directly to his family members and friends to make donations to the Fund and he and his brother Narinder’s family will match all donations made to the Fund.

“Your support for this special initiative to honour my mother and the life-changing gift of a lung transplant, which I believe she has given me, will help researchers find a cure for pulmonary fibrosis."
