Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
A
portion of the revenue from every course sold on PDHengineer.com is donated
to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The mission of the CF
Foundation is to assure the development of the means to cure and control
cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the
disease. It funds medical research and care programs which are
improving the length and quality of life for people with CF.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000
children and adults in the United States. A defective gene causes the body
to produce an abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads
to life-threatening lung infections. According to the
CF Foundation's National Patient Registry, the median age of survival
for a person with CF is 33.4 years.
What Can You Do?
If
you would like to help in the fight against cystic fibrosis, you can start
by visiting the website of the CF
Foundation. Or perhaps you would prefer to support another worthy
charity? Regardless of which organization you support, the staff of PDHengineer.com encourages you to get involved. One person really can
make a difference!
