Wescoe Walk IX: Help us raise awareness for Pulmonary Fibrosis!

On Saturday, October 26, we will be celebrating my Dad, Ron Wescoe and raise awareness for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The Wescoe Walk is a celebration of life and a support basis for people as well as their families coping with this disease. Throughout the years, we have grown and evolved to a great organization but we never have forgotten the roots in which it was created, my Dad. He would be incredibly proud and humbled to know that he has made such a big impact on all of our lives. Proudly, Wescoe Walk VIII raised over $1770 for the Wescoe Community Fund! Thank you!

It is now our 9th year for the Wescoe Walk. We have touched many people's lives and will continue to do so. We have weathered some sun, thunderstorms, drizzle, cold, blue skies, and yes, a snowstorm! To me, the weather is a just a representation of the obstacles and challenges one has to deal with when coping with Pulmonary Fibrosis. There are good and bad days but we get through it together. We think positively and come together to support each other. What better way to celebrate one's life and help others in the entire process. We are very lucky to have this opportunity.

Please join us on Saturday, October 26 at 9.29 am for the Wescoe Walk IX at Upper Saucon Township Park on Preston Lane in Center Valley, PA. Feel free to learn more about the Wescoe Walk at www.wescoecommunityfund.org; www.wescoewalk.org or call at 484.553.6340. Let's make a difference…together.
