Please join us in congratulating the recipient of this year’s Alex Award, Shelby Luebbert. The Alex Award recognizes an individual with cystic fibrosis who is a role model to others living with the disease. #CFFVLC

A big round of applause for the recipient of this year’s Jena Award, Bijal P Trivedi. The Jena Award acknowledges the contributions of someone without a personal connection to CF who has shown persistent dedication to the fight against the disease. #CFFVLC

We’re proud to give this year’s Dream Big Award, which recognizes someone who has made an immense difference in the fight against cystic fibrosis, to Michael Bennet and Senator Todd Young. #CFFVLC

So much development has occurred since our son Cohen was born 12 years ago with Cystic Fibrosis. The idea of sitting through a Cystic Fibrosis Foundation session today to talk about the differences between gene editing & gene therapy is surreal. Truly HOPE in action. #CFFVLC

“We’re also working to advance gene editing. We view gene editing as the pathway to curing CF because this approach would permanently fix the CF gene for anyone with CF.” – Mike Boyle, MD #CFFVLC

“I’m thrilled to share that we are now funding more than 50 genetic therapy research programs and industry and academics to apply the most cutting-edge science to CF. These focus on RNA and DNA repair or replacement.” – Mike Boyle, MD #CFFVLC

“Our ultimate goal is to truly cure this disease, and we have significant work to do.” – Mike Boyle, MD #CFFVLC
