Eliza's Crew for a Cure

About Eliza

Eliza was diagnosed with CF through her routine newborn screenings. CF effects the entire body, but particularly causes respiratory and digestive symptoms. At just one month old, she began daily lung treatments to keep her lungs clear and eating a spoon of applesauce with special enzymes before every meal in order to help her digest food. She also began regular appointments at Texas Children's Hospital to monitor her health and receive care from an oustanding team of CF specialists.

We are so excited for Eliza's future as we continue to see improvements and innovations in CF treatments! Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis!

About Great Strides

 Cystic Fibrosis is a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe. 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.
