May is National Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month. It’s time to learn about and bring awareness to this devastating disease. About 30,000 children and adults have cystic fibrosis (CF) in The Untied States. While the life expectancy for someone with CF has doubled in the last 30 years, children and adults people still lose their lives to this disease every day. There is no cure, yet. It’s time to find a cure.
How can you help? Use your voice and get involved. Participate in walks and other events to support CF and share the facts on social media and elsewhere. There is a great foundation working to find a cure: the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as, a foundation that supports children and families living with CF: Claire’s Place Foundation. Get involved. Donate. Come to their events.
