Why Advocate?

We’ve come a long way in the last 50 years, but there is still much to do.

Raise Awareness About Cystic Fibrosis

Elected officials need to know about the impact cystic fibrosis has on patients and their families and understand the challenges that people with the disease face. As a constituent, it is up to you to make sure your elected officials know about this disease.

Use the Advocacy Toolkit to learn how to contact your members to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis.

Help Impact Federal Funding for Cystic Fibrosis Research

Research is the key to finding a cure or control for cystic fibrosis. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has invested hundreds of million of dollars to fund drug discovery and development to lead the way in this effort. The government plays an important role in supporting crucial research to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis.

Provide Access to Care for Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Without access to quality health care, the success of research efforts to overcome cystic fibrosis does not reach people with the disease. It is critical to ensure people with cystic fibrosis benefit from new drugs and the advancements in the way patients are cared for. By encouraging our government to enhance access to these and other specialty care issues, you can help ensure a brighter future for those with cystic fibrosis.

BE the voice of cystic fibrosis. Use the Advocacy Toolkit to learn how to help.
