✨Congratulations to the Dyne Family, for receiving the Gifts For A Cure Award in 2020! The Dyne Family has played a significant role in our Major Gifts program in support of the Nonsense Rare Mutations Initiative (NRMI) ; acting as strong advocates as their son Jacob was diagnosed with a rare mutation at a young age.

"Jake was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the young age of 14 months. He had chronic digestion issues and a cough. Three weeks after Jake was diagnosed, after speaking with another CF mom who lived in Los Angeles and was currently holding fundraisers, she suggested we start a fundraisers in the San Fernando Valley. That following week, we had our first fundraiser at our home and raised over $30K. After that fundraiser, Jake's Ladder was officially an entity of the CFF, and we haven't looked back since. To date, we have raised over 2 million dollars, and we will continue to fundraise until a cure is found for Jake and others living with the rare/ nonsense mutation."💜

Congratulations to Ben Calvert, as our Tomorrow's Leaders Award for 2020! The Tomorrow Leaders Award goes to a young professional who furthers fundraising and/or awareness for the CF community. 💜

✨Ben Calvert was born in the UK and grew up in a town called Doncaster in Yorkshire.

He Graduated with honors in 2011 and began his Master’s course in Clinical Research at a small, little known university called Cranfield University in the UK.

After graduating with his Master’s in 2012, Ben joined the UK’s premier pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline as a junior research scientist, investigating respiratory inflammation and conducting research to find new treatments for inflammatory lung diseases.

✨Congratulations to the Varner Family from Santa Clarita, CA as our Outstanding CF Advocate for 2020!

💜The Varner Family began their journey with CF when their daughter, Audrianna, was diagnosed 3 years ago. Dad - Chris, Mom - Candice, Brothers - Austin and Colton and Sisters - Piper and Darcie all vowed at that moment that her fight was OUR fight. Being adopted, Audrianna’s diagnosis came as a shock coupled with confusion and concern. Our friends, family and the entire community circled around us as we joined forces with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help raise awareness and funds for a cure. Audrianna is a lover of unicorns and West Ranch football, so she aptly named her team Audrey’s Unicorns and has even been able to convince her dad’s football team to wear unicorn shirts and walk for a cure with her. In 3 years, we have raised over $25,000 and are so encouraged and excited to continue until there is a cure for all.🦄

Thank you to CFF - Los Angeles for all you do!

My name is Danielle and I am a student attending UCLA. I was so inspired by the individuals the I met at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Great Strides Santa Monica event last year that I am creating a hypothetical product for individuals with CF in my entrepreneurial class. I am looking to have individuals with CF and/or family members answer a 4-minute online survey about their experiences to better illuminate possible inventions that may help those with CF live life more comfortably. I would greatly appreciate if you would take the time to answer this quick survey: https://goo.gl/forms/kMDPAMTDcikJVwkF2 Thank you!

Benefitting cystic fibrosis

A fiction suspense book that just came out a month ago has a character in it with CF that really brings awareness to CF affects families. The proceeds of the book are being donated to the CF Foundation. It's called The Naked Block and can be found on Amazon or Kindle. It's receiving 4 and 5-star reviews, so hope everyone gets a chance to order the book to raise money for CF and to enjoy a comical and suspenseful book at the same time.

Susan Thau, PhD., and I are offering a 1 day workshop, 9/23, in L.A. for couples whose child has a serious medical condition. We know from experience just how stressful this is on the couple. As psychologists who practice Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, we can teach couples the basics about emotional connection and health, and help them strengthen their bond with each other as an antidote to dealing with their child's condition. For more info, please contact me: [email protected] or (818) 888-7923.
