MISSION
We are driven by a dream that one day -- every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life. Recognized globally, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundaton has led the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. Our vision is a cure for every person with CF and a life free from the burden of this disease. We will not leave anyone behind.
Today, because of improved medical treatments and care, more than half of people with CF are age 18 or older. We are working toward the day when someone will be able to say, Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs.
Did you know cystic fibrosis affects the entire body?

TIMELINE
1955: The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a group formed by a group of parents determined to save the lives of their children. 1961: The Foundation establishes an Accredited Network of Care Centers dedicated to treating cystic fibrosis. 1989: A team of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-supported scientists discovers the CF gene -- the first disease-causing gene to be identified.
1993: The FDA approves Pulmozyme, a mucus-clearing therapy. The time taken to develop this drug is less than half the industry average. 1997: The FDA approves the first inahled antibiotic designed for CF. The foudnation establishes the Therapeutics Development Network. 2006: Kalydeco, one of the first oral drugs to work at the cellular level and attack the underlying cause of CF, enters clinical trials.
2009: All 50 states implement a newborn screening for cystic fibrosis thanks to the Foundation's advocacy efforts. 2012: FDA approves KALYDECO for people with CF ages 6 and older. The drug is the first to address the underlying cause of CF. 2015: FDA approves ORKAMBI for people with CF ages 12 and over who have two copies fo the most common CF mutation.
2016: FDA approves ORKAMBI for people with CF ages 6-11, bringing the number of eligbile for treatment in the U.S. to nearly 11,000. FDA approves Symdeko, providing another treatment choice for people with CF.

2020: The Foundation celebrates 65 years of progress! We've acheived remarkable advances in the treatment of CF, but we're not done.
