Please support our efforts and help fund vital CF research.
The CFF is the major player in developing new treatments for CF as well as funding research in developing a cure. Last year, a new drug, Kalydeco, was released to market that targets the defective protein in CF. Although this drug targets a different gene mutation than Leah has, we are excited and hopeful to see these amazing breakthrough results. They are currently in phase 3 trial studies using Kalydeco in combination with another drug that will target the most common mutation of CF. We eagerly anticipate and hope for similar positive results from these studies.
When we first started fundraising for cystic fibrosis, we were surprised to find out that the CFF receives no governmental funding as too few people are affected by the disease. So all the money that supports this valuable research in finding a cure comes through fundraising efforts like this. Please consider giving what you can to support this worthy effort. We can't do this without you!
