This has helped fund research which has made major break throüghs. Cystic Fibrosis patients are still in jeopardy but the quality of their lives has improved dramatically. More importantly, their life expectancy has more than tripled. Thirty years ago, most C.F. children died before their 4th birthday. birthday. Today, we actually have C.F. moms! There are only 2 that we know of, but wouldn't it be a miracle if these courageous ladies lives long enough to dance at' their children's weddings? That is our goal and it is attainable because the cure for C.F. is estimated at only 3 years away if present research keeps up. Please help us find this research that will find the cause and cure for Cystic Fibrosis and save thousands of children's lives.
