    Did you know that pulmonary fibrosis takes as many lives as breast cancer or prostate cancer? However, unlike breast and prostate cancer, there is no remission and treatment can only ease the symptoms. Around 40,000 people die each year from pulmonary fibrosis in the U.S. yet very few people know about the disease.

    This is Elicia Shepard – one person who is trying to raise the profile of the disease. In this video, she explains a little bit about why we need more research into the deadly disease.
