The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is working constantly to raise money to support new studies that will benefits people who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis. New technology and medication has lead to great advances. Patients are living longer, and healthier lives than ever before. Over 40 % of the CF population is over the age of 18. Many of the people who have Cystic Fibrosis can look forward to a life that usually last into their 40's. Researcher's are constantly coming up with new technological advances that will improve that life span even more. Kids with Cystic Fibrosis are just like any other normal kids, they just have to watch their diet and medicine intake. Most kids would take the following:
- A pancreatic enzyme supplement
- A multi-vitamin
- Aerosolized medication
- Take part in breathing clearance exercises
Other than that, kids are able to take part in everyday activities that kids without CF are able to, such as play sports and other things.
