Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic illness without a cure. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to help extend the life expectancy of children and young adults with CF and also to improve the lives of those affected by this disease including parents and caregivers.

The Susan and Jack Holender Children’s Fund is dedicated to bringing comfort and hope into the lives of children with Cystic Fibrosis and is proud to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms, reduce complications, and improve quality of life.

To protect the health and well-being of the CF community and Foundation staff, the CF Foundation will not hold an in-person event at this time. Therefore, the annual 2020 Great Strides Walk in Florida has been canceled due to Covid-19. However, the cystic fibrosis community is finding new ways to come together through virtual experiences.

65 Roses Challenge

While we will not be together in person, we can be together in spirit and participate virtually by showing the strength of our community and passion to find a cure for all people living with Cystic Fibrosis. The 65 Roses Challenge includes virtual Great Strides walks, climbs, galas, and other festive moments. If you would like more information on how you can help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis and do a virtual walk, please click here to join Team Angela.

The Susan and Jack Holender Children’s Fund truly hopes that you will join us in our quest for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. While great progress has been made, there is still work to be done to find a cure.
