I’m participating in an event to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because my son has Cystic Fibrosis. He was diagnosed at 6 weeks of age when he wouldn't gain weight after birth. Now, ten years later, he's doing very well...thanks in part to the incredible research supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

When my son was diagnosed, we were told he might have a life expectancy of 30 years. But, only ten years before he was born, the life expectancy for children with CF was only ten years.

Part of the reason we can hope he'll live well into his forties (or more) now is because of programs and research as a result of the commitment of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Please join me and help raise funds for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care and education.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now-more than ever-to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research. To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis. Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation!
