My CF Cycle for Life Story

Fundraising for Greater New York Cycle for Life

When I was young, I had a cousin named Linda. I am not sure I ever know her. She had cystic fibrosis and was 7 years old when she passed away. Her death was traumatic for her family and had a lasting impact on everyone over the years. She was the golden child in her family.
Even after so many years, there is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m participating in this event 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.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
