CF Awareness Month

Every May, the cystic fibrosis community comes together for CF Awareness Month. The theme of this year’s CF Awareness Month is, “Resilient.” The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has shareable resources to help you tell your story on social media this month and any time of year — no matter what your connection to CF is.

Life with cystic fibrosis can come with many unexpected obstacles and unseen challenges. However, the CF community’s ability to navigate these difficult moments in their day-to-day life shows their resilience and determination.

By sharing your experiences with cystic fibrosis, you can educate others about the realities of life with a chronic illness.

During CF Awareness Month, the community comes together to help others learn about the disease, share personal stories, and unite behind our mission: finding a cure for all people with CF.

It’s easy to get involved. Tell your CF story on social media using the hashtag #CFAwarenessMonth. You can share what resilience means to you as a member of the CF community, you or your loved one’s daily life with CF, and so much more.

Follow along as we share your stories on Facebook, X, and Instagram all month long.
