Review for Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute (CFRI), Palo Alto, CA, USA
My husband and I have been involved with CFRI (Cystic Fibrosis Research, Inc.) for 23 years as supporters and volunteers on a variety of committees including my serving on the board of directors for several years. Why? Our grandson, now 26 years old, was almost 3 when he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that has no cure to date. Throughout the years, CFRI has provided us with support and vital information through their education and research programs so that our grandson and our entire family has access to CF resources that help guide us, comfort us and give us hope in Cameron’s battle with this life-threatening disease. He is doing quite well at this point having graduated from college majoring in mechanical engineering and having secured a good job in his field. We whole-heartedly support all the programs the organization has offered and believe they are unique in their fiscal responsibilities by limiting the number of staff they employ and engaging so many volunteers to help us reach our goal. The organization is such a caring group for our community.
