Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening, genetic disease that affects nearly 40,000 children and adults in the United States. In NY State, there are approximately 1,660 people with CF and 63,000 CF advocates. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to find a cure for all living with Cystic Fibrosis, so they may live long and healthy lives. The CF Foundation has transformed how the disease is treated and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of CF Foundation support. We are driven to find a cure in this lifetime, but don’t have the cure yet. We are still working to fund important research, so that one day CF stands for Cure Found!
