It all began in 2012, when Alex Brockman created the first Crawl for a Cure CF. The mission? Fundraise for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help fund new therapies for people living with cystic fibrosis.

Our ultimate goal? Find a cure.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. 

There are close to 40,000 children and adults living with cystic fibrosis in the United States (and an estimated 105,000 people have been diagnosed with CF across 94 countries), and CF can affect people of every racial and ethnic group.

Alicia, Phil and Michaela all love someone who has CF.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for CF, and supports a broad range of research initiatives to tackle the disease from all angles.
