Wescoe Foundation for Pulmonary Fibrosis (WFPF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides support, advocacy and resources for patients and their caregivers coping with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) in order to sustain the highest possible quality of life.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a very rare lung disease with no known cause or cure. It is a progressive and irreversible disease characterized by scarring in the lungs and eventually patients have trouble breathing, even at rest, and must rely on oxygen therapy.
Wescoe Foundation for Pulmonary Fibrosis was founded in memory of Ron Wescoe, who passed away in 2004 from this devastating lung disease.
