IPF Week: Graham's story

Next week is IPF Week - seven days dedicated to raising awareness of this horrible disease, and raising funds to research more into it.

We've got lots planned to mark IPF Week - but in advance, here's Graham's story.

He was diagnosed with IPF in 2011 and decided to fight back: "So… what to do? Sit back and wait for the bloke with the scythe or fight back in every way that I can, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant each tiny step appears to be? Fighting is good, it gives you focus."

Read his blog below and let me know what you think.
