When Mary Alice, at just two months old, was diagnosed with CF, I knew next to nothing about this awful disease. Cystic Fibrosis affects 35,000 children and adults, and it is an ever-present danger for Mary Alice. CF could affect her digestive and respiratory systems, and it also has the potential to take a toll on her kidneys, liver, reproductive organs and pancreas. CF is truly a relentless and far-reaching disease.
Even still, there are reasons to be hopeful. In recent years, the efforts to find a cure for CF have been encouraging, and with your support and generosity, we can continue to make strides towards the ultimate goal: finding a comprehensive cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
