Sicily - Singing for a Cure

Sicily is Singing for a Cure in 2024!

Sicily is a 17 year old musician who loves to perform her own original music. Although playing music is a huge dream, Sicily's biggest goal in life is to help find a cure for the disease that ails her, Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

Ever since she was little, Sicily has used her music to raise awareness and support for the CF Foundation, a non-profit that is the world's leader in the search for a cure for CF. The CF Foundation supports a broad range of research initiatives to tackle the disease.

Sicily normally does 2-3 hours of breathing treatments, on top of several other medicines daily. It's hard on her mentally and physically most days, but she stays positive and instead of sulking, she focuses on doing the things she loves likes song writing! Sicily will be preforming at various events this year to help raise money for the CF Foundation including the Mill 5k Race and Concert in May 2024 at the Rocky Mount Mills! (mill5k.com)

We thank you for your donation and for visiting our donation page and helping make CF stand for CURE FOUND.  It means the world to us!

About CF

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. Living with cystic fibrosis varies, as each person's body may experience different symptoms and side effects. The typical median life expectancy for someone with CF is mid-30s. There is no cure for CF, but medicines are improving the quality of life for CFers every year.
