What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes a thick buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs.

In the lungs, mucus clogs the airways and traps germs, like bacteria, leading to infections, inflammation, extensive lung damage, and respiratory failure.

In the pancreas, the buildup of mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that help the body absorb food and key nutrients, resulting in malnutrition and poor growth. In addition, many people with CF develop diabetes because the thick mucus scars the pancreas hindering the production of insulin and causes high blood sugar.

In the liver, the thick mucus can block the bile duct, causing liver disease.

In men, CF can affect their ability to have children.

Currently there is no cure.

Who we are

We are a group of passionate, dedicated volunteers, community and business leaders dedicated to curing cystic fibrosis.

In 2010, 15 day old Delaney Binker was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Friends and family immediately came together and began raising money to support the research being funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This group became

Cure Cystic Fibrosis Miami.

Cure Cystic Fibrosis Miami was created to promote awareness of cystic fibrosis through education, to advocate for the needs of those with cystic fibrosis and to assist those with cystic fibrosis by adding quality of life for them and their families,

We will not stop until a cure is found... until the day when Delaney and all those with cystic fibrosis can say "I used to have cystic fibrosis".
