About Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disorder of the mucus and sweat glands that mainly affects the lungs and digestive system, as well as the pancreas, liver, sinuses and sex organs, causing progressive disability and early death. CF is one of the most common life-shortening, childhood-onset inherited diseases. In the United States, 1 in 3900 children is born with CF. It is a recessive disorder, meaning that each parent carries a copy of the mutated gene.
There is no cure for CF, and most individuals with cystic fibrosis die young—many in their 20s and 30s from lung failure although with many new treatments being introduced the life expectancy of a person with CF is increasing. Until the 1980s, most deaths from CF occurred in children and teenagers.Today, with improved treatments, life expectancy is about 38 years.
Not good enough! Having a beautiful grandson with CF, I can assure you that it is just not good enough! Please do everything you can to help us raise funds for CF research and find a cure. Thank you!

A lady I once worked with was diagnosed with CF in her 40's and the last time I talked to her - about 4 years ago, she was waiting for a lung transplant. Posted June 16, 2008 |
