Facing Pulmonary Fibrosis: Steve's story

Steve Jones recounts his experience living with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a rare disease that affects around three million people worldwide. IPF can severely reduce the quality of life and independence of those diagnosed due to its progressive and chronic nature. As with other rare respiratory conditions, the lack of awareness and rarity means that those living with it may also feel isolated. However, at Boehringer Ingelheim we believe rare does not equal alone. Steve Jones, who lived with IPF prior to his transplant, talks about adapting his lifestyle to live well with the disease, his support systems and his experience with symptom onsets. Now the Chair of the Trustees of Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis, Steve is passionate about spreading awareness of IPF and connecting those who live with the disease to help them to live well, as are we. At Boehringer Ingelheim, we are making a generational commitment today for those living with IPF tomorrow to help them live better with the disease by spreading awareness and supporting the community.
