My Great Strides Story

Thomas Keens

I am proud to have been the Director of the Cystic Fibrosis Care Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles until I retired in 2023.  I have spent over 50-years doing  research to enhance and extend the lives of people with CF, and providing medical care for these patients.  In 1975, the life expectancy for people with CF was ~16 years.   Through research, largely funded by the CFF, the life expectancy is now 60-years.  Research continues, gains are made, and we anticipate greater life expectancy and quality of life.  Great Strides helps to fund this research.  Consider joining me on the 2025 Greater Los Angeles Great Strides along the beach in Santa Monica on Saturday, May 3, 2025; and if you do, please join Team Breathe, CHLA.  If you can't join, why not consider a donation.

Thank you so much for helping us to find a cure for cystic fibrosis.
