Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States today. One in 31 Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Currently, there is no cure or control.
The Joey Fund, which works in partnership with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, is an independent fund established by individuals in November 1986 in memory of Joey O'Donnell, a courageous fighter and victim of cystic fibrosis.
