Team Ben

We were blessed with our third son Benjamin Robert Fields 18 months ago. Shortly after his birth, Benjamin was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body. Ben is a beautiful lively little boy, however, his day to day life is very different to other children his age. He takes medicine before every meal to help digest and absorb his food, takes daily medications, and does chest PT twice a day along with daily breathing treatments. He will also be required to visit the John Hopkins CF care team frequently for the rest of his life.

We are happy to say that Benjamin is surrounded by an extremely loving and supportive team! He has two brothers that give him plenty of company, an AMAZING medical care team at John Hopkins, and a lot of family close by. As the saying goes, “It takes a village.” Ben’s life will be filled with support and love from the ones closet to him. His journey will be more burdensome than most.  However, with modern medicine, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and donations from caring individuals, the future looks very bright for little Benjamin and others who suffer from CF.  Although his diagnosis has been difficult, we feel very lucky that treatment for cystic fibrosis has come so far. None of this would be possible without the support from those donating to the cause.

Please help us reach our donation goal and help move forward to the future where CF doesn’t stand for Cystic Fibrosis, but for CURE FOUND!

Thank you for your support,

The Fields Family

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.  

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
