About Friends Fighting Cystic Fibrosis (FFCF)
Friends Fighting Cystic Fibrosis is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children living with cystic fibrosis and the families who care for them.
Founded by families and friends impacted by CF, FFCF exists to help when the weight of the disease becomes too heavy, offering practical assistance, compassion, and community to families during critical moments of care.
What is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that primarily affects the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus that clogs the airways and makes it difficult for the body to clear infections.
