Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the body, making it hard to breathe and easy for dangerous infections to develop. Over time, these infections can lead to serious lung damage and life‑threatening complications.

CF also impacts digestion, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients and maintain healthy growth. Every person with CF faces their own challenges, and no two journeys look the same. While treatments have improved and many people are living longer than ever before, CF is still a life‑shortening disease—and there is still no cure.

That’s why your support matters. Every donation fuels research, drives new treatments forward, and brings us closer to the day when every person with CF can live a long, healthy life.

This year, we are participating in the Huntsville Great Strides Walk to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. If you are in the Huntsville area — or would like to join us — we would love to have you walk alongside Kelly’s team.

Kelly’s Krewe Team Tent: We’ll have a tailgate‑style tent set up for Kelly’s team, and we’d be thrilled to have you stop by, say hello, and be part of the day.
