Members and supporters of the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI) are taking on a global challenge to raise awareness for pulmonary hypertension (PH). So far, 24 participants have pledged a combined 3,901 km (2,438 miles) — enough to travel from Athens to Dublin, crossing 12 countries!
Why Dublin? The virtual “arrival” in Dublin is particularly meaningful, as the city will host the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute’s 2026 Congress from 28 January – 1 February.
Louise Bouman van der Waal, Chair of the Dutch Pulmonary Hypertension Association and Member of the Board of the Alliance for Pulmonary Hypertension, and Suzanne Lea, volunteer for the Alliance for Pulmonary Hypertension, will be taking part!
Get involved
Choose any activity — run, walk, cycle, swim, or something creative — set your distance goal, and join the movement to support pulmonary hypertension research and innovation. Every effort counts.
