“No one should be left behind.”

For Merisa LePage, a devoted mother and long-time advocate, these words reflect the ongoing urgency in cystic fibrosis care. While treatments like Trikafta have brought life-changing results for many, they are not a solution for all – including her daughter Sasha.

Through her many Change Makers fundraising events, such as Superheroes Unite, Merisa is committed to creating meaningful change, ensuring that every person living with CF has access to effective treatment.

Our work is not done yet.

Learn how you can support a future where no one is left behind.
