Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe

In 2014, David and I were blessed with our first child, Greyson. He taught us love in a way we had never known. He is so sweet and tender. He feels deeply and is so compassionate and helpful. Greyson is the best big brother and supporter of his younger siblings. God truly prepared this young man especially for the role of big brother and in the summer of 2017, he became just that! Mila was born and had the cutest little button nose just like Greyson. At two weeks old she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. David and I had no idea what CF was or that we were carriers of the genetic disease. In a state of shock, grief, and fear we cast ourselves into the world of CF researching and learning everything we could. Mila took it in strides. She was and still is such a brave and strong little girl. She is spunky, sassy, and full of life. Feeling as though our family was meant to have one more sweet soul, we gave birth to our 3rd baby in 2021. Remi’s birth came during a season of grief after having lost my dad and grandmother just 4 months earlier. She too had CF, but was the joy and hope we needed. She is our little spitfire with a big personality that is always leaving us laughing…and tired, haha! Knowing that our season of having children was over and thinking we couldn’t have any more, you can imagine our shock when just a year after Remi’s birth, we found out we were expecting our fourth baby. Gabriel was born in 2023 on Easter Day. It was truly a celebration of life that day. He radiates happiness and is always smiling. In fact, his nickname given to him by his daddy is, “happy”! Gabriel has CF too. While none of the diagnoses have been easy, we know that each of these precious souls was meant to be here. They are an absolute blessing to our family and they, along with their big brother, are the strongest people we know. The Bradshaw trio continues to thrive and kick CF’s butt! At a Cystic Fibrosis family learning day at Washington University about 5-6 years ago, one of the presenters said something that has stuck with me all these years. He said that they suspect a cure will be found within Mila’s lifetime. I will never forget that and we WILL find a cure. We won’t stop until CF stands for “CURE FOUND”! The foundation has made such GREAT strides towards a cure and we are so very close. Each new therapy gets us one step closer. Trikafta, one of the newest medicines is doing amazing things in the CF community. BUT, we can’t stop until EVERYONE with CF can benefit from these medicines and we can finally say: the CURE has been FOUND!

With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.  

We walk in Great Strides for them.
