Richelle Meiss: Annual Fund and Get Salty!
Life for people with cystic fibrosis looks very different now than it did in 1989 when the gene was discovered. Advancements in care and therapies are allowing people with CF to dream of their futures and achieve milestones of all kinds – like getting married, having careers, and starting families. These incredible advancements were made possible because of support from people like you. And we aren’t done yet. We will not rest until CF stands for cure found.
A gift to Annual Fund will help us usher in even more progress as we enter a new era in CF. To give today, donate to: fightcf.cff.org/losangeles-anf
You can also join Richelle tomorrow night for Get Salty! Tickets can be purchased here: Getsaltycomedy.com
Meet Maddie- Annual Fund 2020
Meet, Maddie Madrid!
Maddie is a local cystic fibrosis patient who never takes the ability to take a deep breath for granted, loves experiencing the beach with her daughter, and a relentless fighter in the mission for a cure. We invite you to hear Maddie share her story below, and why she supports the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Although drugs like Trikafta improve the lives of people with cystic fibrosis, there is still no cure. We have not stopped in our mission to find a cure for 100% of people with cystic fibrosis.
Please consider making a donation today: fightcf.cff.org/losangeles-anf.
