33 years ago, my wife Margie and I learned that our oldest daughter had Cystic Fibrosis, which we knew very little about, other than she was suffering from the effects and was unlikely to survive past 30, that she would be coughing constantly and spend many weeks each year in the hospital.

Over the last five years, we have watched Liv experience a miracle. Through decades of work funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the new medication Trikafta has led to unprecedented improvement in all aspects of her health. After all these years caring for her, then trying to help her manage her own care, it’s hard to describe how significantly this therapy has changed her life.

Now, she is leading an active life, managing a challenging professional career and spending time in the mountains whenever possible.

Olivia still has the burden of daily treatments, and there are many more affected by CF who are not helped by this medication. Olivia and thousands of other people like her need your help to continue research until a cure is found for all.
