My Team CF Story

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Team CF, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.

Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues.

One of these people was a dear friend Janice who I first met in 1997. Janice knew how to live life to the fullest and was always up for drinks, chats and anything you needed. She loved her family, her husband and daughter and friends fiercely. We got to see firsthand the work that CF research has done, a clinical trial and medical treatments gave us many more years of memories with Janice until complications took her from us in early 2023. 

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.

Your support makes a difference.
