Mettler Portraits
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.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
💜 15th Annual Valentine’s for a Cure 💜
Fifteen years ago, I met a little boy named Nathaniel who changed everything. He was living with Cystic Fibrosis and inspired me to do something meaningful with my camera. Since then, I’ve met more incredible CF warriors: Kylie, Mikinlee, Dylan, and Noah… each one brave, strong, and full of heart.
Every January, I honor them by raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and I invite you to join me. Please help make CF stand for Cure Found.
