As I join the Foundation as chief operating officer, I look forward to taking the time to hear as many community voices as I can, to learn from all you have done and to engage to help do my part.

Today I am proud to introduce More Than CF. Your struggles, your achievements, your routines and the small surprises of your every day breathe life into the Foundation's work. You can get involved by sharing your experiences with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and by searching #morethanCF.

Through a new Speaker Series, the Foundation invites people with cystic fibrosis and their families to the national office to share their stories and help Foundation employees better connect with members of our community.

Dana Handler, an intern with the Foundation's advocacy team, recounts her experience and explains her renewed confidence that we'll find a cure for cystic fibrosis.

With the opportunity to broaden our scope, we are opening up everything we do to people living with CF -- and we want to hear from you.

For three years, the Adult Advisory Council has been leading the way in helping the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation reach out to adults with CF. Our work as a council led to the formation of the Community Partnerships department at the Foundation and a formalized Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program, which is being piloted in 12 CF care centers, with more to come.
