Francesca Ricardo

Hi! My name is Francesca Ricardo, I'm a third year biology student at UF! I've created team Chomp CF to help get the UF community involved in CF awareness! My older brother, Christopher, has CF, so I'll be walking for him and all others battling this disease! 

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.  
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. Let's help change that reality! 

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. With your help, one day CF will stand for cure found! 

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to my 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.
