Caroline's Crusaders

Family and Friends,

Spring is here, the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and soon we will be coming together virtually as Caroline’s Crusaders to support Caroline, and to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! This year we move forward knowing that Rebecca’s spirit is in every step that we take and in every pledge that is made.

We plan to meet in person for the CF Great Strides Walk on May 4th, 2024**

As most of you know, sixteen years ago, Caroline, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a life-shortening, progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs and the digestive system. Over time, Caroline has had, and will have, serious challenges regarding her health, but we are blessed that she is as healthy and active as possible. CF remains a daunting challenge for Caroline and for our family. It is a scary disease with no cure as of yet, and it continues to claim young lives.

The CF Foundation is leading the way in innovative research and drug development, promoting high-quality, individualized care, and helping people with CF live better lives. Nearly every CF drug was made possible by the Foundation, and because of funds raised from Great Strides, people with CF are living longer, healthier lives and pursuing their dreams. There is no government funding for cystic fibrosis research, so private funding is critical for Caroline and others who battle CF in the fight for their lives.

Over the last sixteen years, thanks to your donations, we have been able to contribute thousands of dollars to the CFF for this great cause!!! Our family is eternally grateful to all of you for your support and generous donations!

Because of your care and generous donations, the research has steadily progressed.  Caroline is now entering her fourth year on the super drug Trikafta. This new treatment for Cystic Fibrosis is a combination of three modulator drugs. This has greatly enhanced the lives of thousands who live with Cystic Fibrosis. This new treatment has brought about significant benefit for about 90% of the CF community. 

While we have come so far, there is still much work to do. The lives of people with this disease are cut way too short. You can join our Caroline’s Crusaders team and make a contribution online.

If you prefer to donate by check, send your donation made payable to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Central/Eastern Carolina’s Chapter, 7101 Creedmoor Road, Suite 130, Raleigh, NC 26713. Please remember to write on your check:

“For Caroline’s Crusaders”. 

Thank you for your support!

Now, let’s LACE UP, WALK, & CURE CYSTIC FIBROSIS.
