Our community's shared journey makes us unique and unites us in the hardest of times for some and the most hopeful for others.

Life isn't always full of happy moments. Some are heartbreaking and some are crushing. But through it all, the life Kari and I shared together were the happiest moments of my life. I wouldn't trade them for anything. They were worth every second.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation today mourns the passing of legendary sports journalist Frank Deford, whose young daughter Alex lost her fight to CF in 1980, and who served as chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Board of Trustees from 1982-1999. 

Having spent her career working for a cure for cystic fibrosis, Patty Burks is still not content. She wants to remember her son in a way that makes a difference for others. That's why she has made the CF Foundation a beneficiary of her life insurance policy. This gift to the Foundation meets a need in her heart.

The CF Foundation's CEO reflects on the passing of Mary Weiss, who helped blaze new trails in the fight against CF.

My partner, Jan, was a CF fighter for 50 years. She lived an amazing life and celebrated her lung transplant to the fullest. She passed away a few months ago and I'm honored to keep her fight against CF going strong.

Losing my brother when I was just a teenager left me feeling isolated in my grief. There was no internet or social media in the 1980s to connect with other people with CF. Therapy and time eventually allowed me to cope with his loss, open up to family and friends, and invite them to share in my memories.

Although my wife, Wendy, passed away eight years ago, I continue to raise funds for cystic fibrosis to keep her memory alive.

Although many of us were never able to meet Claire Wineland in person as fellow CF patients, her legacy and approach to the disease continue to have a major impact on the CF community.

Cystic fibrosis took the lives of my sister and brother. I use every opportunity to share their stories and help keep their memories alive.
