My Story
When I was 6 years old, my sister Madison was born with Cystic Fibrosis. Ever since, we have done everything to try to keep her healthy. She takes more than 40 pills each day, does a nebulizer treatment every night and a shaky vest twice a day. She is very lucky because so far those treatments have kept her healthy. Some kids are not so lucky. They do all those treatments and still become very ill. We are raising money to help fund research to find better treatments and to one day find a cure for CF so that Madison - and all the other children with CF - get better and stay healthy. One day CF will stand for Cure Found.
About CF
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.
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. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease.
