Raise Awareness--Ask Congress to Recognize CF Awareness Month!
Bills to recognize May as National Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month have been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
To pass the Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Resolution--and help us find a cure or control for CF--members of Congress need to understand what it means to have the disease. You are their most important resource. Members of Congress will back our efforts because YOU ask them to.
Ask your member of Congress to sign on to the CF Awareness Resolution today!

CF Advocates March on the Hill
Last month, to kick off the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s annual Volunteer Leadership Initiative, more than 40 CF Advocates and Foundation staff visited their members of Congress on Capitol Hill.

“It was empowering to have the chance to tell my Representative and Senators what they can do for CF,” said David George, a CF dad from Rochester, N.Y. “Since I returned from Washington, I’ve contacted my members of Congress to remind them of what life is like for my daughter with CF. And, I’ve invited my friends and family to join me and ask their own elected officials to help fight this disease.”
Because of these Advocates’ efforts, membership has increased in the Congressional Cystic Fibrosis Caucus and several Representatives have already signed on to the CF Awareness Resolution!
