Charities

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (http://CFF.ORG)

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. The charity funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support.

CFF.ORG is a nonprofit donor-supported organization dedicated to attacking cystic fibrosis from every angle. Their focus is to support the development of new drugs to fight the disease, improve the quality of life for those with CF, and ultimately to find a cure.
