It needs awareness raised, because though it's not entirely unknown, it's not nearly as well known as cancer, for instance. And the more people that know, the more fund raising we get done, the better medical research we get done. There are a bunch of CF fund raisers done by the CF Foundation. One of which is actually held in May all over the country. Called Great Strides. Look up on the internet, there should be a Great Strides somewhere near you. There's also bike-a-thons, and parties, and blah blah etc.
