Hi, My name is Becky, an adult with Cystic Fibrosis.
I was diagnosed with CF at six months old. I am grateful for my health because my days are better, and I am breathing easier because of the medical advancements made for people with CF like me. I am thankful for the support over the years from my family, friends, and doctors.
Approximately 30,000 Americans are living with Cystic Fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle daily to breathe. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?
Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease, and many lives are cut far too short.
To date, 14 CF therapies have been approved. Four of these treatments target the underlying cause of the disease, including TrikaftaTM, which the FDA approved in 2019. Through the CF Foundation’s efforts and support of research, drug development, and specialized care, the life expectancy of a child with CF has doubled in the last 30 years.
We’ve come so far, but there’s still much work. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.
Please support me!
We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis, and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today while raising funds for tomorrow to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line.
Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
I would love for you to join my team or make a donation to support our efforts.
