Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I am one of them.
It has been so amazing to be able to be able to grow from a daughter, to a wife, and now to a mother, all while living with Cystic Fibrosis. My life thus far would not be what it has been without the generous support of the CF Foundation which has made the development of so many life-changing and life-extending CF treatments possible.
Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF are not able to benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
You can support me!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make more medical history.
