Reach for the Stars Foundation
The Reach for the Stars Foundation is dedicated to providing individuals
afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis and their families with the resources,
knowledge and support necessary to manage their unrelenting battle with this
insidious disease. Cystic Fibrosis is not only physically debilitating, but
carries a heavy financial and psychological burden for families.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) compromises 30,000 children and young adults in the
U.S. Tragically only 50 percent of CF sufferers live to be 30 years of age.
CF is characterized by the body's abundant production of very thick and
sticky mucus. This mucus becomes an ideal environment for infections and
causes blockages throughout the body. Although the disease manifests itself
in many ways, it is most commonly the constant infections and buildup of
mucus plugging in the lung tissue, that eventually lead to the destruction
of the lungs and ultimate death of these children.
Our efforts are designed to Bridge the Gap!
The Reach for the Stars Foundation is devoted to improving the quality of
life for these afflicted individuals as they await the cure, and to help
ease the burden of the families as they engage in their battle with CF: a
battle that never ends.
We are devoted to alleviating the myriad of devastating consequences
suffered by the CF afflicted and their families. Many are in desperate need
of assistance. Our objective is to enhance their quality-of-life, now, so
that they will be healthy enough to be the beneficiaries of on going
research and medication advancements. Ultimately, our ambition is to see
them live long enough, so that they will be able to see a cure for this
devastating disease.
Bridging the Gap between living with CF and finding a cure.
Our vision is to provide information and educational resources so that
critical knowledge can be readily found, disseminated and it's benefits
immediately derived. We plan to provide a support network and various forms
of assistance to CF families. Our goal is to help these families cope by
advocating for them when necessary, all the while empowering them to self-
advocate; so essential a tool for successful management of this hideous
disease.
