There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and I’m walking to support my cousin's son, Russell.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
As of right now, Russell's CF presents itself the most in his pancreas. He is severely pancreatic insufficient, meaning he can not process foods with fats without having enzymes paired with meals or some snacks.
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 terrible 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?
