Steven L.  Buenning

Please donate in the memory of Steve, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found. Steve was diagnosed in 2016, just after retiring from a 41 year teaching career. He refused to let IPF define him, so he kept this diagnosis private and lived as full a life possible even when he began to need oxygen. His family is heartbroken and he fought valiantly to be with us as long as possible, but the lung damage was just too great to overcome.

All proceeds go towards:

• Finding effective treatments and a cure for pulmonary fibrosis
• Advocating for the pulmonary fibrosis community
• Promoting disease awareness
• Providing a compassionate environment for patients and their families

Please donate and together we can help those living with pulmonary fibrosis and the families of those we have lost. All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

If you cannot make a donation at this time, please forward this e-mail and link to everyone you know. Post this on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Every donation counts, no matter what the amount.

The loss of a loved one is devastating. Yet, we are always reminded by our hearts – how lucky we have been to know those that we love even in our loss.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated.
