I walk for Lyla, my niece. She is a sweet, funny, and curious little girl, and I want her to live in a world where CF no longer stands for Cystic Fibrosis but instead for “Cure Found.” Thank you so much for your generosity. To learn more about CF, read on:
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.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.
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.
