Meet our special guy Caden! Caden was born with Cystic Fibrosis. This rare genetic disorder affects little Caden's lungs and pancreas. As Caden will fight this for the rest of his life, we hope to engage our community and grow awareness. After a rough 1st year, Caden's 2nd year has been free of hospital stays! During 2019, we witnessed a year of major advancements on the drug therapy horizon. Caden was blessed to be able to begin a new CF drug called Orkambi. Also, during this past year, the FDA approved a new breakthrough therapy called Trikafta. While it isn't available to Caden yet, ( its only approved for 12 years and older) , it's been life- transforming for many CF patients. Our hope is that Trikafta will become available to Caden soon! Despite the new drugs, Caden still needs about 6 breathing treatments a day. He wears his inflatable vest hooked up to a machine 3 times a day. In spite of all of that, Caden is a happy, well-adjusted little warrior! Caden’s Parents, Jeff and Gina, and big brother, Cameron, would love to have you join us to Fight for a Cure! Join our Great Strides Team and walk with us, or you can make a donation to any team member.
Join our team and help add tomorrows to Caden's life, along with the lives of all Cystic Fibrosis Warriors!
Please support me!
Your participation will help us get one step closer to ending this terrible disease. Let’s make CF stand for Cure Found.
