Hi friends of Beckett's Team,

I hope this letter finds you well. As a supporter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, I am writing to you today with a request for your continued assistance in our mission to conquer cystic fibrosis (CF).

Again this year, all donations up to $25,000.00 will be matched by the Tim and Nan Corwin Foundation! Thanks to Tim and Nan for their continued support for this cause.

You won't see any recent photos posted here this year because, well,  he's 14 and CRINGE! But if you make a donation, I will send you a link to his most recent movie where you can see him doing what he loves best.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system, leading to severe respiratory and gastrointestinal complications. For decades, individuals and families affected by CF have faced significant challenges in managing this disease, but thanks to ongoing research and advancements, we are making remarkable strides in improving the quality of life and extending the lifespan of those with CF.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is at the forefront of this fight against CF, funding innovative research projects aimed at understanding the underlying causes of the disease and developing breakthrough treatments. With your generous support, we can continue to accelerate the pace of progress and bring hope to the CF community.

I am excited to share some of the recent advancements made possible through the generosity of donors like you:

• Gene Editing Therapies: Researchers are exploring gene editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 to correct the defective CFTR gene responsible for CF. These promising therapies have the potential to address the root cause of the disease, offering hope for a cure in the future.

• Precision Medicines: Scientists are developing targeted therapies that address specific genetic mutations associated with CF, allowing for personalized treatment approaches tailored to each individual's unique genetic makeup.

• Innovative Lung Therapies: Novel drug formulations and delivery methods are being developed to improve lung function and reduce lung infections in individuals with CF, enhancing their respiratory health and overall well-being.

• Supportive Care Innovations: Advances in supportive care, including airway clearance techniques, nutritional interventions, and psychological support programs, are helping individuals with CF live fuller, healthier lives despite the challenges posed by the disease.

These remarkable advancements would not be possible without the generosity and support of compassionate individuals like you. Your donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will directly fund critical research initiatives and bring us closer to our ultimate goal of finding a cure for CF.

Please consider making a donation today to support our mission and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis. Together, we can turn hope into reality and transform the future for individuals with CF and their families.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

with love and gratitude, Sean, Allison & Beckett
