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 raise 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.
Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation. By supporting my fundraising efforts, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
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.
To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis. Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation!

COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation wants every person with CF to have access to timely diagnosis, quality care, and community support. For decades, CF was mischaracterized as a genetic disease with a limited number of mutations, impacting white people. Today, we know CF is more complex and impacts people who identify as Hispanic, Black, and other races and ethnicities. We are working in close partnership with our community to integrate health equity into everything we do, including: * Improving newborn screening guidelines so that every baby born with CF in the US can be diagnosed early. * Investing in research to better understand and treat the full range of more than 1,500 CF mutations. * Improving access to clinical trials through new trial design and enrollment practices.
