Creating a Future W/O Limits

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024

My name is Lina Bhardwaj, and my daughter Rianna, at just 17, has shown incredible resilience in the face of cystic fibrosis (CF). One day, I hope to see my daughter live a life unbounded by her condition.

Rianna was diagnosed at two months old but has never let CF define her.  From earning a black belt in Tae Kwon Do to becoming a licensed swim instructor, she embodies strength and determination. These achievements were once impossible for someone with CF, but they are possible for Rianna through advances in treatments like Trikafta. This medication changed her life, but the threat of infections and the unpredictability of CF are always in the back of our minds.

Your Donations Changes Lives

While Trikafta has been a miracle for Rianna, not every person with CF has access to this life-changing treatment. This is why we’re raising $40,000 by October 14 to fund research and clinical trials that can offer new life-changing treatments. We’ve seen incredible progress in our lifetimes, and with your help, we can go even further. With each donation, you’re funding this critical research and giving families like mine hope for a future where we can dream without limits.

Donate today and support life W/O Limits

Rianna is heading to university in the fall, and as she steps out on her own, advancing CF care becomes even more vital to our family. We need treatments that can keep up with her and ensure her health as she continues to chase her dreams.

Every contribution made is a step towards a world where children like Rianna can live without the limits imposed by CF. Please join us in this critical effort before October 14. Your donation could be part of the next breakthrough that changes everything for families touched by cystic fibrosis.
