Hey friends!

As most of you know, my youngest daughter, Chloe Parker, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis just days after birth. Now, at the ripe age of 9 years old, she’s a thriving kid/daughter/sister. It’s taken surgeries, numerous hospital admissions, countless medications and doctor’s appointments, daily respiratory therapies, and an endless supply of fried chicken to get here. One medication in particular, a gene therapy called Trikafta, has been our little “miracle drug” – it’s helped Chloe Parker keep her lungs clear and has kept her out of the hospital due to exacerbations.

Unfortunately, this gene therapy isn’t a cure. Even worse, it’s not available to all Cystic Fibrosis patients (as it’s mutation dependent). To help fund the research for a cure and to make life-saving medications, like Trikafta, available to everyone in the CF community, our family is participating in the Great Strides fundraiser to raise money for this cause.

We’d love to have your support!

Did you know 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. 

We walk for them... Will you join us in our cause for a cure?
