Our CF Climb Story
Cystic fibrosis is a life-shortening, genetic disease found in about 30,000 people in the U.S. that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. Those living with this disease are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers—all struggling each day just to breathe and live normal, healthy lives. By making a donation you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for CF.
The A-Team participates each year to honor Avis Powell. In 1972 at the age of three, she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and her parents were told she would only live to seven. Avis defied the odds and in her 31 years she traveled the world, married, and had two healthy boys. She was able to do this because of advances made by doctors and scientists—and support of the CF Foundation working to add tomorrows and find a cure for cystic fibrosis. Seeing the huge leaps that have been achieved gives us great hope that soon no one will have their life cut short by CF.
