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!

Introducing Clicks! for CF 

Innovative Fund-Raising Website

Innovating the way people give and support their favorite charity, Clicks! for Cystic Fibrosis has been made publicly available.

Clicks! for Cystic Fibrosis has created an easy way for individuals to ensure their favorite charity receives a portion of the profit from their online purchases. When an internet user wishes to make a purchase with any of over 400 leading online retailers (such as Barnes and Noble, Wal-Mart, Disney, Macy's, Dell, Linens N Things, Staples, and many, many more), all they need to do is locate them within the Clicks! for Cystic Fibrosis retailer directory and use the link provided for that vendor.

"As someone involved in the technology industry, and the parent of a child with Cystic Fibrosis, I was looking for an innovative way to fund raise for Cystic Fibrosis research" states Clicks! for the Cause, Inc. Vice-President, James Stewart. "The goal was to give people an opportunity to shop online with their favorite online retailers, as they normally would, and support life-saving research at the same time".

Every retailer within the Clicks! for Cystic Fibrosis directory is listed with a percentage or dollar value clearly stated next to their name. This value represents the amount of their purchase that goes directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. By reviewing this information, shoppers can feel good in knowing the exact amount of their purchase that will go life-extending Cystic Fibrosis research.

In addition to the Clicks! for Cystic Fibrosis website, several supporting tools have also been made publicly available. The Clicks! for Cystic Fibrosis toolbar integrates directly into Internet Explorer, saving users the time of having to access the website. Additionally, a custom Windows Vista Gadget and Firefox custom Search Engine have also been made available for use. "Our strategy is to make the Clicks! shopping experience as simple and effortless as possible", adds Mr. Stewart.

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.

Thanks for providing this information. You hear about the disorder so often, but not much information. It's good to hear some detailed knowledge on this subject.
