Why Now?
Advances in genetic research have exploded in recent years. The first potentially curative therapies are now on the horizon for people with certain forms of blindness and other rare diseases. The Foundation is leading the way in applying this emerging science to CF.
In addition to CF, there are more than 1,000 diseases caused by this type of genetic mutation, virtually all of which have eluded researchers seeking FDA-approved therapies. While our focus is on cutting-edge research for CF, our hope is that future genetic-based therapies could also benefit many others living with genetic diseases
The strength of the CF Foundation’s fundraising lies in our peer-to-peer events, including our longest-standing signature event, Great Strides. This is a fantastic opportunity for colleagues to come together and make a difference – from volunteering to forming company-based teams.
