ROCK CF Foundation

Rock CF Foundation is a 501(c)3 non profit corporation that uses the arts, entertainment, fashion and fitness to spread to awareness, raise funds and improve the quality of life for Cystic Fibrosis patients.”For those of you who don't know, I (EMILY) am 25 years old and I have Cystic Fibrosis(CF). I was diagnosed with CF at 18 months old and am still rockin today! I started The Rock CF Foundation to raise awareness and funds for CF because I feel that not enough people know what Cystic Fibrosis is and how much is being done each year to treat us afflicted with the disease. I really believe that using the arts and entertainment is a great way to reach and teach people about CF. Each year I spend about 8 weeks or more in the hospital undergoing treatments and each day I spend hours on home treatments along with swallowing 30 or more pills. This is all very normal for the 30,000 people living in the U.S. with CF. Life expectancy right now is about 37 years old and this increases each year because of funding from people like you. The Rock CF Foundation donates the majority of its' funds to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Currently a scholarship program is being set up for students with CF entering college with the intentions of studying the arts or entertainment. A fund for lung transplant patients is also in our future and we will keep everyone posted about that.
