Maddy Kearney, 13, has big dreams. She wants to study musical theater in college, then perform on Broadway or become a professional dancer. But life with cystic fibrosis — including rare mutations that make her ineligible for current CFTR modulators — is getting in the way.

Every morning starts with extensive treatments that cause her to cough up thick, sticky mucus. At school, Maddy’s lessons are interrupted by embarrassing coughing attacks, and she often misses class to go to the doctor. In the evening, after dance practice and homework, she spends hours hooked up to a feeding tube.

This daily burden is exhausting — but Maddy continues to dream. With your support, her dreams can come true.

While real progress has been made in CF research and care, people still struggle with this disease. Families still face the heartbreak of watching loved ones get infections and fight complications, and lives are lost to CF every year.

We don’t want Maddy — or anyone with CF — to be held back from their dreams.

Give now to help us advance treatments and care, lighten the daily burden for people with CF, and help families look toward a brighter future.
