Travis and the Goo Fighters

The Goo Fighters are driven by a dream that one day Travis, and every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life where they never have to think about the challenges or limitations put on their body because of this disease. 

Travis fights everyday against CF. This disease effects many different parts of his little body but, from the outside he looks perfectly normal. This disease is deceptive. Travis looks healthy and Travis has a life-threatening disease. Travis is growing and doing incredibly well for someone with his diagnosis and this disease is degenerative and progressive with no cure. So we do everything we can to slow the progression and prevent problems from arising. We do vest therapy and inhaled nebulizer treatments multiple times a day and take digestive enzymes with every single meal and snack. The treatments, medications, and doctors appointments are all Travis has known. And because this disease is chronic, life-long, progressive, and doesn't yet have a cure, we will keep fighting. We fight everyday day so Travis can have more tomorrows.

Before Travis was born we hadn't ever heard of Cystic Fibrosis. After his diagnosis, we got a crash course in CF. This disease changes your world.

The life expectancy of CFers has been rising in recent decades thanks to development in medications and treatment. It used to be that CFers didn't make it to elementary school. Now people with the disease are growing up and having their own families. This could not have happened without the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We've had the opportunity to work with the South Texas Chapter these last few years as we've been learning about CF, and this is a truly committed community of people. The truth is that developing new medications and treatments is expensive but CFF is committed to funding a cure. The money that the CFF raises is the reason my son is healthy. Without the access to resources, medications and specality doctors, Travis would not be as healthy as he is today. I am eternally grateful for the commitment of the foundation to finding a cure. 

Please join us in supporting our fundraising goal of raising $5,000. Every dollar helps. You can donate on behalf of an individual team member or join our fundraising team, and walk with us on September 21. 

With love,
