Interstitial Lung Disease Day
More than 250,000 Americans are living with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and ILD and those with some inflammatory or connective tissue disease (CTD), like Dermatomyositis are at higher risk for an ILD. On ILD Day, Nori’s Fight stands with patients, families, and advocates around the world to raise awareness, share resources, and push for research toward better treatments and a cure.
What is ILD Day?
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Day is recognized every September as a time to come together, raise awareness, and support those impacted by ILD. It’s a day of education, connection, and hope—bringing patients, families, and experts together to share knowledge and resources.
​
This year, the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is hosting a special webinar featuring a leading ILD expert. The session will cover causes, treatments, tips for living well, and more—followed by a live Q&A where you can get your questions answered.
​
✨ Join thousands of others in the ILD community and be part of this important day.

Why ILD Awareness Matters
ILD causes inflammation and scarring of the lungs, making it harder to breathe and live fully. For people with rare diseases like MDA5 Dermatomyositis, ILD can be life-threatening. By shining a light on ILD, we can:​
​
-
Spread knowledge about early detection and symptoms
-
Provide resources for families navigating diagnosis
-
Advocate for funding and research into rare autoimmune diseases
-
Support patients with community and hope
