Research Appeal
Defeating PH Can Be More Than a Wish Donate to PH Research
Each year, PHA-sponsored researchers work to uncover new methods for early detection, better treatments and ultimately a cure for this terrible disease. Just like you, we look with hope toward the future and the day when the suffering caused by pulmonary hypertension comes to an end. But until that day, PHA will work to support new and veteran researchers on their path of discovery. Donate now and join us in our fight against PH with a donation to PH research. Defeating PH can be more than a wish - it can one day become a reality.

What's a Bug Boil & What Does It Have to Do with Curing PH?
boy holding crawfishA bug boil is another name for a crawfish boil, yum! Jack and Marcia Stibbs and the CurePH Committee held their 2nd Annual Texas CurePH Bug Boil on April 18 where they raised over $28,000 for PH research, getting us that much closer to a cure. Blessed with great weather, the event featured music and games, including crawfish races! The event photographer got some great shots of the day so check out the 2009 Bug Boil photo album.
