IMPORTANT NOTE: To protect the health and well-being of the cystic fibrosis community and CF Foundation staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, the cystic fibrosis community is finding new ways to come together through virtual experiences. While we will not be together in person, we can be together in spirit and participate virtually - showing the strength of our community and passion to find a cure for all people living with cystic fibrosis.

Our Cycle for Life Story
Join Our Team and Help Add Tomorrows!
Thank you for visiting our team page.
Team member Don Gouchie is one of 30,000 people in the US that was born with Cystic Fibrosis. We are on the edge of a cure and this disease WILL be cured in our lifetime.
Last year at this time, Don was on the waiting list for a new set of lungs. We did the CF Cycle for Life and 2 weeks after we were notifiied that they had lungs for Don. Don was given his new lungs on October 23rd. He has spent this year recovering and had a few other surgeries after his original one. He feels good and we've spent the summer riding to train for the Cycle for Life. We did our first CF Cycle for Life ride in Philadelphia in August. We are continuing our fight to cure CF. We are so thankful Don that got lungs, but at the same time, we don't want the kids that are born with CF today to have to do this. Help us cure this disease. We are getting very close.
Paperback Riders team has 2 other team members whose families are also impacted by Cystic Fibrosis. We are all actively working to make sure that a cure is found.
