When Matthew was 8 he was not only diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis his family was informed that he would live just another 5 or so years. Not one to be told what to do he kept going.
Through persisting against setbacks, through the advancements in treatments, through the care and knowledge of medical staff he kept going. Then in 2020 just before we started to shelter in place he received access to one of the most life changing medical advancements yet, the drug TRIKAFTA.
The research for this wonder drug was made possible by you. Really. Donations to the CF Foundation made it possible to fund the research on this medication that otherwise wouldn’t have because it’s lack of profitability. This drug has dramatically improved many of the lives of people living with CF and yet there is more to be done. It doesn’t work for everyone and not everyone has access.
Let’s keep going to change that. Join us
