Ezekiel and Gabriel McCall are a pair of super smart, super strong, and super SILLY brothers from Albany, Oregon. Both were born with cystic fibrosis, but they don't let that stop them from having fun!
Zeke, age 9, can be a bit shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he'll want to show you all the things he's been working on. Some of his favorite things to do are drawing, making up silly stories, and playing video games such as Plants vs Zombies, Wobbly Life, or TABS.
Gabe, age 4, loves to be the center of attention. He enjoys singing, dancing, playing pretend, and making the loudest dinosaur roars he possibly can.
Neither of the boys enjoy bedtime.
Their parents, Mike and Vanessa, do everything they possibly can to ensure their boys' health and happiness despite the challenges presented by CF. As parents, we often think "we could be doing more". This is why we are participating in Great Strides!
By bringing all these communities together to learn about CF and support the CF Foundation in its research, we grow our network and resources to achieve more incredible advances in treatments and--one day, hopefully soon--a cure for cystic fibrosis.
We invite you to join us either in-person at the park, virtually from home, or to simply donate what you can towards the cause. Any little bit gets us that much closer to our end goal.
A huge thank you from all of us!
