I’m taking on the Great Strides challenge and set a goal to raise $3000 to support CF Research and Support for those with CF. My Grandson Jase is 9 years old and one of the strongest people I know. Jase has two very rare mutations and through research funded by the CF Foundation there have been CFTR Modulators developed that help many with CF to live very much like normal lives, these modulators do not help Jase and those like him with Rare and Non-Sence mutations. He is one of those in the last 10% that we need to find help for.
We are entering our 10th year supporting Great Strides and raising money to find a cure for Jase and those with CF. There have been many great advances in the path to a cure, and with hope and continued support a therapy that will help all those with CF is on the horizon. Jase's Pride encourages all to come out and walk with us and celebrate life on June 1st with Check-in starting at 0830 and walk at 1000.
There still is no cure for this devastating disease yet and even those with the game changing CFTR Modulator drugs still have a daily fight. There is so much hope for all with CF with new therapies. In just a short 10 years, the life expectancy has gone from mid 20's to 56, all due to the amazing support and donations received by YOU!
I'll be posting on Facebook and Instagram of activities and challenges we do, follow me, and occasionally I'll do a FB Live/Video.
You too can join the fight by learning more about CF, following my FB page, telling others and Donating to our cause.
