In recent years, I’ve been moved by the stories of people who have been helped by this organization. Introduced by a friend whose family member has cystic fibrosis, I now care deeply for this cause. This organization has been pivotal in improving survival rates for those diagnosed at birth. In 2016, nearly half of the CF patients who died were under 40; by 2022, over 60% were over 60. Your support will help people with CF lead vibrant lives. Please consider a $150 donation for a VIP ticket to our upcoming event. Thank you for supporting this vital work.

I am being honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at a special event recognizing outstanding professionals in my community. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raising money to help the Foundation realize its mission of curing cystic fibrosis (CF) and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.

Help me reach my fundraising goal—please donate and be part of ending this disease.

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Sixty years ago, children with CF usually did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
