“We are rewriting the story of what it means to live with CF. We are pursuing careers, becoming parents, traveling, and advocating for better care and policies. We are proving that CF is no longer just a childhood disease — it is a lifelong journey, one filled with struggles but also with joy, achievement, and purpose. The road ahead is still uncertain, but one thing is clear: We are living proof that progress is possible. For those of us aging with CF, every birthday is a victory, and every challenge overcome is a testament to our resilience.” — Pete Proimos, an adult with cystic fibrosis (fb)

During Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, we are inspired by every person with cystic fibrosis and members of the CF community who support them. Over the past 70 years, we have worked alongside the cystic fibrosis community to drive remarkable progress. Your boundless determination has been vital to this work, resulting in advancements in treatments and care. However, we will not rest until there is a cure for all people with CF.
