In March 2014 Olivia was born and at three days old she had surgery to remove a blockage in her intestines. After weeks in the NICU she was able to come home. CF became our new normal. There are breathing treatments twice a day when she is well and precusion therapy, Emzymes to help her body process fats and proteins so she can put on weight. There have many ups and a few downs in the five years but she takes it all and still smiles.
The life a person with CF is filled with treatments, thereapy, and medication on a daily basis and at times weeks of hospital stays. There have been advancedments in the fight agaist CF but we still have a long way to go to one day find a cure. With your help of a small donation we can fight this disease that claims lives before their time. 90 cents of every dollar goes toward research so your donation no matter how small can make a big impact. Please help Team Oliva as we fight to one day find a cure for CF.
Help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.

Important note on Attendance at Foundation Events:
Infections can exacerbate CF symptoms and worsen lung function, so we ask attendees at Foundation-sponsored events to observe the following best practices to reduce the risk of germ transmission:
To further reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation’s attendance policy recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times while attending an outdoor Foundation-sponsored event. All Great Strides walks are non-smoking events.
