Cystic Fibrosis Launches New Dinner Dance in Delray Beach<br />

Serving as youth ambassador is Reilly<br />

Gardner, age 4, who was diagnosed with<br />

cystic fibrosis (CF) as a newborn. CF is a<br />

complex, genetic disease that impacts the<br />

lungs and digestive system and progressively<br />

limits the ability to breathe. While<br />

life expectancy has greatly improved<br />

from the 1950’s and age five to a current<br />

median survival age of 41, much needs<br />

to be done to improve the lives of people<br />

with CF until there is a cure through the<br />

support of research, drug development<br />

and specialized care.<br />
