CF is a genetic disease, which means it can be passed down from our parents, even if they don’t have it. It can also affect many parts of the body, especially the lungs and our intestines, which help us digest foods. There is no cure for CF, but doctors are learning more about the disease. They are helping people with CF live healthy, long lives.
