As many of you know, our son Lucas was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth and the reason we walk for a Cure. 

Luke turned four this year and has been doing great thanks to his wonderful family and CF Care team out of Boston Children's Hospital. He has been staying healthy and keeping up with his two older sisters. He enjoys school, superheroes, anything Paw Patrol, swimming, camping and golfing with the boys. Luke continues to be an active four-year-old doing everything four year olds do and then some... Luckily this continues to be possible due to our great CF Care Team, Family and supporters like you who advocate and raise money for treatment and research for CF.

This year we'll be participating in our fifth annual Great Strides, to raise money and awareness about Cystic Fibrosis. The CF Foundation has already made a difference in our lives, by providing information and necessary medications to us and Luke. The money they raise goes directly to finding a cure, as well as drug development to improve lives today.

Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease. If you can, please donate to team 'Lace 'em Up For Luke', or join our team and walk with us in May!

By joining our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. We will not rest until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. CF one day will stand for CURE FOUND! The time is now. Together, we can conquer this disease.
