About Cystic Fibrosis… Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults. A defective gene causes the body to produce an abnormally thick sticky mucus that leads to chronic and fatal lung infections and impairs digestion. Currently, there is no cure. Scientists supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation are now developing several new clinical approaches to treating CF. Help make CF stand for Cure Found! Because of risks to people with cystic fibrosis (CF), individuals with a confirmed positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia complex shall not attend this event. This is because B. cepacia can be passed between individuals who have CF through close proximity. B. cepacia infection in a person with CF can cause serious respiratory illness and, in some patients, may lead to death. Despite this policy, there might still be some individuals with B. cepacia in attendance. B. cepacia is not a risk for otherwise healthy individuals. For alternative ways to participate and for information about this policy, please contact the CF Foundation at (800) FIGHTCF or visit our web site atwww.cff.org. Consult your CF care center physician with medical questions.   T: (201) 457-1800 F: (201) 457-1898 E: new-jersey@cff.org Additional Information More Information  Donate
