    Theme 2015

    The theme to raise awareness on IPF is “Blowing soap bubbles”.
    Blowing soap bubbles is a joyful activity. When you are healthy, it takes less than a second to blow bubbles. If you are a patient with IPF, this simple activity can be very challenging. The Breath of Hope Campaign aims to raise awareness of IPF while reminding about the importance of lung fitness/health.
    Blowing soap bubbles can be done alone or in a group/with your family/with your doctor/with your pet – one can blow big or small bubbles; one can blow them from a special location or while doing an activity.
    Some initial ideas for the photo contest:
    • Get some members of your organization together, wearing the organisation’s branded t-shirts and blow bubbles
    • Form the letters of IPF with people on a piece of grass while blowing bubbles
    • Get a family generation together (grandparents, parents, children) and blow different sizes of bubbles
