CYSTIC FIBROSIS BENEFITS
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. Our granddaughter, Sydney, was diagnosed with CF when she was three weeks old. She is now seven years old and an active second grader. She has a daily routine of therapies and medications and, while there is still no cure, she is benefiting from the advances in research and medical treatments, many of which are funded by The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation . The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is committed to finding a cure and is a leader in funding research. This research is enhancing and extending the lives of children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond. It is our hope that Sydney will someday be able to say "cure found!"
