My Great Strides Story

Karen Currie

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis (a disease caused by gene mutations inherited from both parents) and too many people with CF die young. Although my CF diagnosis did not happen until I was 57 years old, I have benefitted greatly from drugs such as Trikafta, developed with the support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and many contributors.  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.  
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure so that everyone with CF can Live Long and Prosper!
