Despite advancements in treatments for Cystic Fibrosis (CF), there is currently no cure and too many people with CF still die far too young. Once again, Simone and I are participating in the annual Great Strides campaign by raising vital funds to support our daughter Celia and others with CF.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that harms the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF can make it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, which can lead to lung damage and even respiratory failure. 

It's a challenging disease as there are a multitude of CF genetic mutations - some for which there are cutting-edge treatments and others for which there are not.  We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Please help this worthy cause by donating today!  Thank you!

Darrell
