My CF Cycle for Life Story

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. CF is a complex disease, and the types and severity of symptoms can differ widely from person to person. Many different factors, such as the age of diagnosis, can affect an individual's health and the course of the disease. My cousin has Cystic Fibrosis. When I was little, I did not think that my cousin was any different than me. She ate differently than I did, but she used a nebulizer (a machine that turns liquid medicine into a fine mist) as I did for my asthma. It was not until we were young adults that I really understood the seriousness of CF.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m cycling to help change that reality.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
