The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is pleased to present the 18th “Jake’s Ladder,” celebrating Jacob Dyne, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at the age of 14 months. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. There is no cure for CF. While many people with CF have seen transformations in their health because of existing therapies, there are still others like Jake who do not benefit, either because they cannot tolerate them, or their specific genetic mutations will not respond. Jake, who has a rare mutation, is still waiting for his “miracle drug.”
Help us keep fighting! Please join us Saturday, November 2nd from 7-11 pm for a delightful evening of food and drinks, dancing, and an amazing auction at a private residence in Calabasas, CA.
To date, the event has raised over $2 million. Revenue received in support of Jake’s Ladder 2024 will be used to fund the CFF Nonsense and Rare Mutations Research and Therapeutics Initiative.
