Many baseball fans consider four-time World Series champion and New York Yankees legend Bernie Williams to be a superhero. For Bernie Williams, however, his "Superman" was his father, Bernabé, who died in 2001 of a rare and serious lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). “When my family learned he [Bernabé] had IPF, we were in shock, because he was our Superman. He could do everything, he was a handyman, and he lifted weights,” Williams told Fox News. That’s why he’s making it his mission to raise awareness for IPF with Boehringer Ingelheim’s Breathless Campaign.
