Katie Price has shared a rare snap of her mother as she made a plea for support of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust
The former glamour model, 42, shared an image of herself posing with her beloved mother Amy along with an image of a lung scan, followed by a snap of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust logo.
Amy has been shielding due to her own health struggles with pulmonary fibrosis.
A passionate Katie captioned the images: “I am supporting www.pulmonaryfibrosistrust.org who are the only UK charity to provide vital equipment to those living with the incurable lung condition PF/IPF which my mum has.”
She added: “They do wonderful work supporting people. PF cases are likely to increase dramatically due to COVID-19.
“PF is when the lungs become scarred and breathing is increasingly difficult. About 70,000 people in the UK have it.
“On average people survive 3 -5 years unless they are lucky to get a lung transplant.”
Katie then shared some further details about her mother’s health situation and made a plea to her followers.
She continued: “My mum has been shielding since March because her lungs are susceptible to catching the virus.
“The Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust have just released their patient survey results which show vital lung rehab and other services have been cut due to the pandemic, just when people need it most.
“Please help us help the charity ensure people get access to the equipment they need such as mobile oxygen, stairlifts, mobility scooters. They also provide respite holidays.
“Follow at @PFTrust or visit www.facebook.com/pulmonaryfibrosistrust/ @pulmonaryfibrosistrust “.
The post drew support from Katie’s followers and much love for her mum.
One fan of Katie’s penned: “Wonderful thing to do @katieprice.”
Another follower replied to the post: “What a gorgeous woman your mum is xx.”
Meanwhile, a different Instagram user opined: “That pic of you two is lovely that’s a pic for the wall in a nice frame.”
Elsewhere, another fan of Katie’s wrote: “Well done, awful awful disease that needs funding for support. My heart goes out to any family dealing with PF.”
Finally, one Insta user concluded: “Wishing your mum well Katie. Well done to you for raising awareness.”
