Dear Friends and Family, The journey to end cystic fibrosis (CF) isn't a straight line. It is an evolving map with many paths and unique challenges. It requires an ambitious research agenda to accelerate treatments and drug development for the underlying cause of the disease and ultimately deliver a cure. It also includes the work of maintaining access to affordable health care and these treatments. Your support of our Great Strides fundraising has helped map a pathway to a healthy future! In 1999, the median life expectancy was about 21 years for someone diagnosed with CF. Now the life expectancy has increased to 56 years and is increasing rapidly. Thank you for making this achievement possible with your support of our fundraising for all with CF! Would you please make a donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help expand healthy tomorrows for all with CF and keep this progress going even further? In this 26th year of fundraising for the CF Foundation, we remain hopeful for continued success in treatments and therapies and eventually (soon we hope!) a cure.
