Working alongside the CF community, the Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — an unprecedented number in a short span of time — and helped add decades of life for people with CF. And while therapies such as Trikafta® have had an incredible impact on the lives of those with CF, there are still many people with this disease who do not benefit from existing treatments. Our goal is to cure cystic fibrosis.
