Today, babies born with cystic fibrosis are living longer, healthier lives than ever before. Thanks to early detection through newborn screening and advancing treatments, children with CF can grow up to attend school, play sports, pursue careers, and build families of their own. Our founder, Claire Wineland, was living proof of this possibility—from her hospital bed, she built a global movement, founded our organization, and touched millions of lives.
If you're reading this because your baby has been diagnosed with CF, or you're supporting someone who has, know this: you're not alone, and this diagnosis doesn't define your child's limits—it reveals their strength before they even know they have it.
