November is National Family Caregiver’s Month, and today, we’d like to introduce you to Marianne. Just two and a half years after getting married, her husband Gary was diagnosed with IPF and Marianne took on the role of a caregiver. In this compelling clip, Marianne describes what it felt like to watch her husband struggle, the fears she felt, and the advice she has for other caregivers.

Note: Today, Gary is currently the recipient of a lung transplant! The two remain dedicated volunteers and advocates for the PF community.
