Year 8, here we go!

Once again, I’m asking for your help to make an impact and turn CF into “CURE FOUND.”

While incredible progress has been made in treating cystic fibrosis, about 10% of patients still do not have access to a life-changing “miracle” drug that works for them. With continued donations and support, researchers can keep working toward treatments that help those patients—and ultimately toward a cure for everyone.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic, life-shortening disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes it difficult to breathe and fight off infections, often leading to severe lung damage and respiratory failure.

Every person born with CF is on a unique journey and experiences this disease differently. While the progress in recent years has been remarkable, there is still a long road ahead for far too many people living with CF.

That’s why this fundraiser matters.

With your support, we can continue to fund critical research, help develop new treatments, and move closer to the day when every person with CF has the chance to live a long, healthy life.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping bring us one step closer to a cure.
