IPF or Idiomatic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a disease that causes scarring and stiffness in the lungs making it hard for the lungs to move oxygen into the bloodstream, the brain and other vital organs.
September is IPF Awareness Month. One of the campaigns is blowing soap bubbles. IPF World says, “Blowing soap bubbles is a joyful activity. When you are healthy, it takes less than a second to blow bubbles. If you are a patient with IPF, this simple activity can be very challenging. The Breath of Hope Campaign aims to raise awareness of IPF while reminding about the importance of lung fitness/health.
Blowing soap bubbles can be done alone or in a group/with your family/with your doctor/with your pet – one can blow big or small bubbles; one can blow them from a special location or while doing an activity.”
