On July 23, 2016, Chris Sadleir’s father Rob who was living with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) had a double lung transplant. Thanks to this procedure, he is still with us today and is in his 70s. First inspired by his father’s PF journey, and today motivated by his determination to shine a spotlight on Albertans who struggle to breathe, Chris embarked on his Walk to Breathe. Chris looks to increase awareness of PF and to further public conversation about the disease. Tune in to this conversation about PF featuring Chris in honour of his dad.
We celebrate and thank Chris Sadleir for sharing his father’s pulmonary fibrosis journey. If you or a loved one is experiencing breathing difficulties talk to your doctor.
