Parents Host Golf Tournament to Fund Cure for Disease That Claimed Daughter's Life
Date:10/9/2008

Lisa Sandler Spaeth Memorial Golf Tournament to be held at Woodmont Country Club on Oct. 14

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr. Jerome Sandler and his wife, Froma, are still dealing with the sadness of losing their beautiful daughter last year to a disease of unknown origin that has no cure. Lisa died of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), which claims 40,000 lives each year. The Sandlers have turned their grief into action as they host the first Lisa Sandler Spaeth Memorial Golf Tournament on October 14th at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville to raise funds to help the search for a cure. Proceeds will go to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CPF) and will be awarded to support cutting-edge research in the field.

Lisa Sandler Spaeth, 44, suffered from pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a disease that scars the lungs and suffocates its victims. There is no FDA approved treatment and no cure. Her parents not only are hosting this first-time fundraising event, they also recently joined the CPF on Capitol Hill to meet with Members of Congress regarding the recently introduced Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 6567) and share their family's experience with the disease.

"We miss our daughter so very much and we want to try and make sure other families won't have to go through the tragedy we've faced," said Froma Sandler, Lisa's mother. "By supporting the CPF and pulmonary fibrosis research, we can honor Lisa's memory while searching for a cure."

The special event will be hosted by the Sandlers and Lisa's siblings to pay tribute to Lisa and to bring awareness and funding to the disease that claimed her life so quickly, forcing her to leave behind her family.

"We are so grateful to Dr. and Mrs. Sandler for the selflessness of their efforts. They are helping to bring much needed funding and awareness to a disease that has claimed too many lives and threatens thousands more. With their help, we can find desperate
