Help give children with cystic fi brosis a fi ghting chance.
Siblings Jena and Eric Cassalina of Milton, New York, were born with cystic fi brosis—a genetic disease that cuts young lives short. More than 1 in 30 Americans are carriers of the gene that causes cystic fi brosis.
Eric lost his sister when she was just 13, but he's still fi ghting. Every day, he courageously battles this devastating disease. But Eric, like the other 30,000 Americans with CF, needs more than courage to win this fi ght. He needs a cure.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure. By investing aggressively in drug research with the smartest minds in medicine, the Foundation has helped increase life expectancy dramatically. But we will not rest until we fi nd a cure.
