Toast for a Cure

 

Toasting for a Cure
 
Thirsting for a Cure is adding a new way for people world wide to participate in this special event. We invite you to Toast for a Cure to help us raise awareness and dollars for a CURE!

What is Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension?

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a rare disease which causes high blood pressure in the lungs.  This high pressure causes shortness of breath, fatigue, and ultimately, right heart failure. Those affected by PAH feel as though they are suffocating, BECAUSE THEY ARE.

The disease affects children, adults, men and women alike, often striking women in their childbearing years.  Without treatment there is a 2.8 year life expectancy from the time of diagnosis. 

With early diagnosis, treatments can improve quality of life and may prolong it. HOWEVER, AS OF NOW, THERE IS NO CURE

We hope to change that, but that can only happen through further research and dedication to finding a cure for this disease.

We need your help!  Please help us by participating in the “Toast For A Cure Challenge” as described below.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to Adult Research and the Robyn J. Barst Pediatric Research Fund, in care of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA).
