While #CysticFibrosisAwareness Month may be ending, our resolve here at Emily’s Entourage is stronger than ever.
We’ll keep racing until we #CrossOutCF—for every single person living with #cysticfibrosis and the people who love them.
100%, full stop! ❌💜
#CureCF #CF
🔎 #FactFriday: Advanced In 2024, more than 97.3% of individuals with advanced lung disease were adults, with a median age of just 36.8 years.
Progress has changed what’s possible. But for many in the #cysticfibrosis community, progress is still beyond reach.
#CrossOutCF
🔎 #FactFriday: On average, people with #CF spend nearly two weeks per year hospitalized due to pulmonary exacerbations.
That’s time away from work, family, and living life to its fullest.
💜 Share to help raise awareness this #CFAwarenessMonth as we work to #CrossOutCF.
🔎 #FactFriday: According to EE's Final 10% Survey, 70.4% of adults with #CF spend 1–4 hours every day on treatments to open their airways and help move mucus in their lungs.🤯
That’s up to 25% of waking hours spent tethered to medical treatments—just to breathe!!!
#CrossOutCF
#SpeakUpCF: From constant worry and insidious "what ifs" to the quiet calculations behind everyday decisions, #cysticfibrosis is an exhausting disease.
💬 What’s something no one talks about when it comes to life with #CF?
Share with us ⬇️
#CrossOutCF #CureCF
🔎 #FactFriday: There are nearly 40,000 individuals living with #cysticfibrosis in the U.S. and 105,000 worldwide.
That’s 105,000 reasons to move faster.
Time is of the essence. 100% or bust.
💜 Share to help raise awareness this #CFAwarenessMonth as we work to #CrossOutCF.
It’s May 1—#CysticFibrosisAwareness Month begins!
Join us as we #CrossOutCF by peeling back assumptions and reveal what life with #cysticfibrosis really looks like. ❌💜
