ABOUT
YOUR IMPACT
$50
Fund one day of supplies that will support a research team investigating which rare CF mutations can benefit from Trikafta.
$150
Support a research coordinator at one of our clinical trials sites educate CF patients on new gene therapy trials.
$250
Support the development of mental health resources for people with CF and caregivers.
$500
Fund a graduate student for one week to investigate new ways to tackle antibiotic resistance in CF lung infections.
$1000
Support a week of research to adapt a therapy program to a virtual format so that CF patients suffering from depression and anxiety can easily meet with a therapist.
"Your past support has allowed us to fund groundbreaking research, improve care and have real impacts on the lives of those living with cystic fibrosis. But we aren’t done. Not when half of people living with cystic fibrosis die before the age of 40. Not when around 250 people with rare mutations who could benefit from Trikafta have no access in this country. And not when many people still have no therapy because their mutations won't benefit from drugs like Trikafta. We can change the CF story - we've done it before. But we can't do it without you. Help us change the CF story."
Dr. Paul Eckford
Chief Scientific Officer
