Let’s all follow Adam Faatz on his journey as he embarks to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Adam lives with less than one functioning lung and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). If successful, Adam will be the first person in the world with PF/IPF to to complete this monumental climb AND the first person in the world to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with less than one functioning lung.

From Adam:

On January 1st I leave for Africa. I am risking it all to raise awareness for PF on a totally global scale. I chose this insane endeavor as my means of advocacy because I understand that in order to reach substantial populations I need to do something that is less then 1% going to be successful or “ safe”. I want you all to know that I will reach the summit- 19,341 feet and I’ll proudly hold my flag up for the world to see for years to come. PF will be a photo in the Guinness Book of World Records. This disease will become the topic of discussion globally come mid January. I promise all of you, and I don’t make promises I can’t keep.
Please note that I have extensive training, medical procedures, medevac, travel insurance etc. There’s no stone left unturned. We are #PFStrong! 💪🏻

We built Leapcure to empower advocacy groups with a technology that can maximize their impact on research.
