What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an incurable, life-threatening genetic disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other vital organs in the body. CF is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults.
Who are we?
We're a passionate group of families who raise funds to help those with CF, like Natalie, our fellow Walnut Creek Rudgear Rat swimmer.
Funds raised go to the Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute (CFRI), a 501(C)(3) organization founded in 1975 that funds innovative cystic fibrosis (CF) research and offers education, advocacy, and psychosocial support programs and services to those with CF, their families, and their caregivers.
