Review for Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute (CFRI), Palo Alto, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

CFRI for many years has helped me as a parent of a CF'er cope with this terrible disease and keep me up to date on the latest research and medical treatments. The organization is a gem, helping hundreds. Their annual conference attracts people from all over the world. It is the only one of its kind and fabulous.

Rating: 5 stars  

CFRI is an amazing organization at many levels. It is a wealth of information, reaching out to parents of newly diagnosed children with CF (a devastating time in their lives). It helped me cope with the heartbreak of having a child with CF. I am not sure I would have survived. They fundraise to support leading edge research into CF giving us all hope for a cure. They have a wonderful newsletter full of information, sending it free to anyone. And finally, they have a huge annual conference, hosting people from all over the world, where we can go and learn all the latest in research and care. The staff is very friendly, helpful and caring. This is the most vital organization I have ever been involved with.

CFRI has wonderful volunteers that have helped countless cystic fibrosis patients, parents, and grandparents for nearly 40 years. Through their wonderful annual conference attended by people around the world, helpful newsletter, and other activities, the organizations reaches hundreds. Its a privilege to be part of this. My son with CF is now 30 years old.
