I walk in honor of my beautiful daughter, Lisa. She fought like a warrior against this disease. She received her first lung transplant in 2008 and was given almost 10 years because of it. She received her second transplant in 2018. Her little body was tired and couldn’t fight anymore. She left us on, February 28,2019 at the age of 25. We lost the battle but not the war. You can join our team, donate or both. Any amount is appreciated. Let’s finally win this war and that CF will stand for CURE FOUND.
Thank you.
Karen
Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.
We walk in Great Strides for them.
Will you join us?
Great Strides is a fun event that provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together to make a difference in the lives of people with CF.
