All through May, the shop, too, will sell Great Strides pin-ups to customers, with 100 percent of the money collected going to the foundation.
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, CF affects roughly 30,000 people in the United States. It is an inherited and chronic disease that often clogs the lungs and “obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.”
