The Hammers and British actor Ray Winstone have come out in force to help support the BLF during #IPFWeek! West Ham United Football Club and Ray will be ‘Forever Blowing Bubbles’ throughout the week to help us raise awareness of IPF! Kevin Nolan, club captain at West Ham United, said: “I urge everyone to get behind World IPF Week as we are doing here at West Ham United and support the British Lung Foundation to help fight this devastating disease.” Actor and West Ham United fan, Ray Winstone said: “I’m proud that my club is getting behind the British Lung Foundation this World IPF Week. But this isn’t about club rivalry. This week is about raising awareness of a disease that affects 15,000 people in the UK, but that most people have never heard of. It can affect anyone, has no cure, and can kill with devastating speed. “It’s time things change. I’ll definitely be blowing bubbles and texting to donate in support of World IPF Week this year. I hope all Irons, football fans, and all right-minded people across the UK will do so too.” Don’t forget to post your photo on our wall and add a message of support to your profile photo by clicking here twibbon/support/ipf-week-2.
