Dallas' Duel

Dallas was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 5 weeks old after weeks of various testing. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic illness affecting mostly the lungs but also the pancreas and other organs. It is a chronic, life-shortening illness. He is on multiple daily breathing treatments to preserve his lung function. He also has pancreatic insufficiency related to CF which prevents his body from adequately absorbing fat, protein and vitamins so he takes pancreatic enzymes with every meal or snack leading to a total of 16 capsules per day. 2022 was a big year because Dallas turned 6 years old and was eligible to start the new miracle drug, Trikafta!! We are so excited that he has been quite healthy for the past several years without any hospital admissions! He has been hospitalized twice in the past as a result of CF and pulmonary exacerbations requiring IV medications and lengthy hospital stays. Needless to say CF is an expensive disease. Although he has already been through so much in his short life because of CF we are so thankful for the CF Foundation and their dedication to finding a cure!! There have been so many advancements over the past several years and there is so much hope for a cure in Dallas’ lifetime. The CF Foundation relies on donations to fund their research and clinical trials. Please join our cause to help Dallas and the other 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis.  

We walk for them and hope you will support us. Will you join us? Support us by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!
