🔎 #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
