What is CF and Who is Trevor?

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.
​

In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick, buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage and eventually, respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients.
Trevor is an 19 year old young adult who has CF. He inspires. He never complains. He does all his treatments. In the past year alone he has:
  • Taken over 16500 pills
  • Spent over an hour each day doing breathing treatments
  • Spent an hour each day doing chest PT
  • Seen his Pulmonologist & other docs 10 times
  • Been to the ER for chest pain and blurry vision once
  • Had a bronchoscopy
  • Has been on 6 different antibiotics over the year
He is a warrior.

They say it can't be done.
​We say it hasn't been done, yet.

CF research is amazing. There is a drug available today that has transformed
​Trevor's disease and, therefore, his life.
We have (with the amazing talents of the coolest scientists & doctors) pre-clinical, in-vitro, and in-Trevor data that the drug works brilliantly.

Wouldn't it be great if more people could access these life-saving drugs? We think so.
