ILD Day is a collaboration between TMA, the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, and seven other organizations to raise awareness of interstitial lung disease (ILD). 2025 will mark the fifth annual ILD Day, taking place on Wednesday, September 9, 2025.
Interstitial lung disease is the umbrella term used for a large group of diseases with inflammation and/or scarring in the lungs. The inflammation and scarring can injure the lungs, making it difficult to breathe and get oxygen to the bloodstream. Myositis is one of the known causes of ILD. There is no known cure.
Support Meredith’s Legacy in Honor of ILD Day
The Meredith C. Thomas Myositis Research Fellowship was created to fund research grants for early-career clinicians focused on Antisynthetase Syndrome and ILD. This new fellowship within TMA’s long-running research grants program is a perfect tribute to Meredith’s passion for learning and community spirit.
Join TMA in observing ILD Day by donating to the fellowship fund.
