ILD Day returns! Join us for a very special webinar presentation on Wednesday, September 18 at noon central time with Dr. Sonye Danoff, pulmonologist and Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins ILD/PF Program. This year, the topic of ILD Day is the path to diagnosis. Dr. Danoff will talk about: 🔹 How doctors recognize the disease 🔹 Finding the right treatments for you 🔹 Your care team and the roles they have in your journey 🔹 Advocating for yourself ✅ Registration is open now at https://loom.ly/mj99yss ❌ Can’t make it? Register anyway, and we’ll provide you with a link to the recording. 💭 What is ILD Day? ILD Day is a collaboration between FSR and eight other organizations to raise awareness of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Interstitial lung disease is the umbrella term used for a large group of diseases with inflammation and/or scarring in the lungs. The inflammation and scarring can injure the lungs, making it difficult to breathe and get oxygen to the bloodstream. Sarcoidosis is one of the known causes of ILD. There is no known cure.
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: The Journey to Diagnosis: Process, evaluation, and your care team. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Kristen Vargas an FSR-GSCA Community Outreach Leader at Northwestern, an FSR-GSCA Founding Member, recently turned 50 and chose to celebrate her milestone by launching the #50for50 campaign to raise awareness and funds for sarcoidosis. Over April, May, and June, Kristen shared 50 important facts about sarcoidosis on Facebook, offering insights into living with a chronic illness. As part of her campaign, Kristen completed 50 workouts, including virtual rowing and mobility exercises, while a fellow sarcoidosis warrior pledged to row 500 meters for every dollar raised. She aimed to rally 50 people to donate $50 each to reach her $2,500 goal, which she proudly surpassed. Reflecting on her efforts, Kristen said, “I wanted to turn my milestone birthday into something meaningful, spreading awareness and raising funds for FSR, an organization that is close to my heart.” Kristen's "50 for 50" campaign is a powerful example of how personal milestones can drive advocacy and change. Feeling inspired? You can make a difference too! Contact Jennifer@stopsarcoidosis.org to start your own fundraising campaign.
