Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body. It is caused by a faulty gene that affects mucus production, making it thick and sticky. This mucus can clog the lungs, lead to life-threatening infections, block the pancreas, and prevent the body from digesting food properly.

CF is a chronic disease requiring lifelong management; no cure currently exists. However, treatments available can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. These treatments include medications, airway clearance techniques, and exercise, among others.

As a family affected by CF, we understand firsthand the importance of finding a cure for this disease. Watching our son/brother struggle with the daily challenges of CF has been heart-wrenching, and we want to do everything we can to support efforts to find a cure.

Raising funds for CF research is critical because it enables scientists to continue studying the disease and developing new treatments. Research has already led to significant advancements in understanding and managing CF, as we've witnessed, but there is still much work to be done.

By supporting CF research, we can help ensure that future generations do not face the same challenges and limitations as those with CF today. We can help provide hope for a future where CF is no longer a life-limiting disease and individuals with CF can live whole and healthy lives.

As a family, we are committed to raising funds and awareness for CF research. We participate in fundraising events, donate to the CF Foundation, and share our story with others to inspire support for this vital cause.

We know that finding a cure for CF will not be easy, but we believe it is possible with the right resources and dedication. We will continue to do our part to support CF research and hope that others will join us in this vital mission.

Please consider making a gift today. Your support will help make a difference for all those with CF and their families. Thank you!
