There are approximately 40,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe.
We have a deeply personal connection to this cause. In 1994 CF took the lives of both of my Goddaughters, Melissa (12) and Amanda (8) Phillips (Missy & Mandy, our M&Ms). My son, Bryan (pictured at left with M&M) lost both of his best friends/sisters at 6 years old. Our family was impacted in profound ways by their life and loss (they had that impact on a lot of people) and we have been on a crusade to find a cure for more than three decades.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — but these treatments are not a cure and not everyone can benefit from them. We must keep going.
You can help us reach our goal by donating to our Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible. You can also join our team as a walker or virtual walker.
Thank You!!
