What is #whywaitforwings? Lea believed anyone with What is #whywaitforwings? Lea believed anyone with a chronic illness like cystic fibrosis should experience a better quality of life. Our grant program has helped 11+ people receive their wings (@afflovest) which has given them the freedom to live their lives and receive their treatments while on the go. 

We are so grateful to every one of you that continues to share their wing photos to carry on Lea's legacy, like Jack on this wing bench in North Carolina! Please continue to share them with us by tagging @leamariefaraonefoundation in your posts & stories or DM them to us directly so we can share them. 🦋💜
