Marie is 8 years old and was born with a life-threatening genetic disease, Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF mainly affects the lungs and digestive system, and there is no cure. Every day, Marie takes over 20 pills, and does 2-3 times daily nebulizer and airway clearance physical therapy to help stay healthy. She visits 5 specialists every quarter for check-ups. Despite all this she is an amazing kid living life to the fullest! All the treatments, medications, and care routines that keep her healthy were developed and made possible by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This incredible organization is the reason why Marie and thousands of people with CF just like her have hope for longer healthier lives.
