Join the next CF Circle for a virtual, small-group discussion about the Black CF Experience. On June 23 at 7 p.m. ET, Black adults with CF, as well as parents and caregivers of Black children with CF, are invited to talk openly with peers about shared experiences like misdiagnosis, delays in treatment, self-advocacy in medical settings, and navigating life with CF.

Every person on the trail has a different reason for taking that first step❤️

Some hike for a child, sibling, or family member(s) living with cystic fibrosis.
Some hike in memory of a loved one.
Some hike to honor those who paved the way in the fight against CF.
Others hike because they believe in a future without CF.

As you scroll through these photos and reflections from the Collins Family & Team ME, you'll see the love, strength, and determination that fuel every step toward a future free from cystic fibrosis.

Our paths differ, but our purpose is the same: a cure for cystic fibrosis. 🥾

A huge THANK YOU to the incredible teams at Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations across North Texas and Shreveport! 🚗💙

Through their dedication, generosity, and commitment to making a difference, they raised more than $80,000 to support the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Every dollar raised helps fund critical research, advance innovative treatments, and move us closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis. We are deeply grateful to every team member and customer who contributed to this amazing achievement.

Together, we are making a lasting impact on the lives of people with CF and their families. Thank you for driving progress and helping us accelerate toward a future where everyone with CF can live long, healthy lives.

As a monthly donor, you can spread your support into smaller gifts that add up to real progress.
