There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). One of them is me!! I was diagnosed in 2015 when I was 9 1/2 years old. Since then I have spent 40 days in the hospital and continues daily treatments & meds to keep my lungs as strong as possible.
Cystic Fibrosis is a life shortening disease that causes the body to produce a thick sticky mucus in the lungs. We all breathe in the same air but for those of us with CF the mucus creates a breeding ground for bacteria resulting in dangerous infections and chonic lung damage. It also affects the digestive system and other areas in the body causing multiple complications to the victims health and quality of life.
Fortunately through fundraisers like this they are developing new treatments & drugs to help extend the life of those fighting this disease. I started taking one of these amazing new medications in December 2019 and have continued to see improved lung function each year. We are continuing to fundraise so this medication is available to everyone with Cystic Fibrosis!!
