The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. The Foundation funds research to find better treatments and cures, supports patients and families, and works to ensure access to quality care. Since its founding in 1955, it has played a key role in developing groundbreaking therapies that extend life expectancy and enhance quality of life for those with CF.
