Support Canaan's Tribe and help us get one step closer to a CURE for cystic fibrosis - a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that affects the lungs, digestive, reproductive, endocrine, and other systems.
Canaan was diagnosed with CF at birth. He currently struggles with pancreatic insufficiency causing malnutrition issues. He's been hospitalized twice for malnutrition and dehydration. On a regular, healthy day, Canaan takes approx. 20 pills a day just to support his pancreas, along with 1 liquid Rx, concentrated vitamins & supplements, & 2 nebulized medications & a medical device to administer Airway Clearance (2x a day) to clear the lungs.
With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.
We walk in Great Strides for them.
Will you join us?
Great Strides is a fun event that provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together to make a difference in the lives of people with CF.
To participate, you can join our team as a virtual walker, make a donation, even create a fundraiser.
By joining our Great Strides team and making a donation, you will be part of a tenacious and passionate group of people committed to ending this disease. Together, let's make CF stand for Cure Found!
