Purpose of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

The main objective of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to ensure the development of a means that can cure and control cystic fibrosis so as to improve the lives of those who are suffering from the disease. There are a large number of care centers that the foundation has created throughout United States. These centers provide a high level of specialized care for cystic fibrosis patients. This has resulted in a longer and more fruitful life for the patients.

Being an accredited charitable organization of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, the organization uses the funds that it is able to raise in a judicial manner. The standards of charitable accountability are extremely high across the foundation and can be seen in the operations of the place. At the same time, it is also understood that research of this nature needs to be conducted keeping in mind that while some things may bear fruit, others may not.

The condition has also been given the name of "65 roses" to make it easier for people who find pronouncing cystic fibrosis tough. The name was actually given by Mary G. Weiss's eldest son when he thought that she was working for 65 roses, as she called every social organization asking for help for research on cystic fibrosis since her 3 sons were suffering from the condition.

The online site of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has been created to offer all the information that anyone can ever need on the medical condition. Starting for information on someone who has just discovered the disease in a loved one to those who are looking at ways and means of making life comfortable for those who have it, the site details every aspect of the medical condition. There are also details about the ongoing research that may bring hope to people.
