Fighting for a cure for cystic fibrosis
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. I walk for them.
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. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
Moreover, we commit to helping address the systemic barriers that have led to health disparities for many in the CF community, particularly Black, Hispanic, and other communities of color. We will work toward ensuring all individuals with CF have the opportunity for optimal health outcomes.
You can support me!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining me and helping make medical history.
Until it's done for everyone,
- Greg Hutchins
