Our incredible son, Jacob, was only 27 days old when he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, often making it difficult to breathe. 

Thanks to innovative therapies from his CF physicians, new drug developments, a mountain of support from friends and family, and the unbelievable steadfastness of God, Jacob is now 3.5 years old and is doing so well! Though this road with our son is not what we would have chosen, we marvel at the life that is possible for him thanks to countless people who work tirelessly to fund new treatments, new therapies, and new research.

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. Though we are deeply grateful that Jacob is doing so well, the reality is that 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. Our prayer is that the ongoing work through the CF Foundation will continue to make the path ahead filled with even more hope and good news for everyone living with cystic fibrosis.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to our fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
