There is still no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF die young. Even though research has come a long way, my 9-year-old friend doesn't benefit from the treatments that are available today.

I’m walking to help change that reality for her.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey, and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
