What is Cystic Fibrosis???

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:
clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and
obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.

Statistics
About 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year.
More than 70% of patients are diagnosed by age two.
More than 40% of the CF patient population is age 18 or older.
The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is more than 37 years.

Registration Coming Soon!

The Walk 4 Breath committee has been dilligently working to iron out all of the details of the event in September. All of the formal approvals have been completed to hold our event at the Keosauqa Loop Trail/ County Fairgrounds. The committee met with the County Fairboard and the City council and both approved our event!

We have been working with active.com to set up online registration that will be available on this website after the first of June.

Walk for breath will also have paper registration forms at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on June 6th! We are looking forward to marketing at this event.
