Living With Cystic Fibrosis7 Elo 2023

Deliverer of CF Hope, Bob Emmelkamp

You will want to learn more about Bob Emmelkamp after this podcast, I promise!

I feel like Bob is everywhere and supportive of everyone.

Without a DNA connection to cystic fibrosis, Bob Emmelkamp became a lifelong CF fund-raising volunteer in 1976, when he helped put on a high school dance marathon where proceeds benefited the CFF. Since then, he has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to advance research for a cure for CF, spreading the word and explaining the latest CF research news, and personally funds grants to the labs of some of the top CF scientists. For the past 20 years, Bob has attended the annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Science Conference. In 2017, Bob received a special invitation to attend the European Cystic Fibrosis Society’s exclusive CF Basic Science Conference in Portugal and was also asked to create and present a poster on “The Changing Nature of Interactions between Research Scientists and Patients”.
