Every birthday is a big deal. This one is extra special. When Samantha was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 1984 at the age of 2 , we were told 50% of CF patients lived to 21 years old. That moment our lives changed forever. Sam turns 42 this year! She's one of the lucky ones. Her life has not been an easy one, but she just keeps on fighting... Every. Single. Day. So we keep fighting. For new treatments and new drugs for every patient. But most of all, for a CURE.
There are approximately 40,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for Sam and all the other CF patients. I hope you will support me in my efforts.
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. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today or perhaps you would like to join my team.
Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
Please support me!
