Kickin' it with Kenna

Join our team and help add tomorrows!

This is our seoncd walk with Great Strides! We are walking for Kenna, our daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter.

Our daughter, Kenna, was born in May of 2017. It was a great birth and she was happy and healthy when she entered this world! We did the normal routine heel prick for newborns and then went home to start our lives as a family of four! A few days later I received a call from our pediatrician to set up an an appointment to talk about her blood work. This is when we found out about Cystic Fibrosis and scratched the surface as to what it was and what Kenna's life would be with it. From there, we saw several doctors and have been to several appointments to talk mainly about her lungs and about her weight gain. She is on several medicines to help her gain weight and has daily treatments to help keep her lungs healthy and not too mucusy.

Kenna is doing great so far. She is always happy and always has a smile on her face (except when she is hungry or has to do a nebulizer treatment). Our clinic has been super helpful in helping us understand what CF is and how we need to handle everything we do for our daughter. We are so excited when we learn about all the advancements that have been made in medicines to help treat CF and we are very hopeful for a cure very soon!

There are approximately 30,000 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? To become a member of our team, just click on the "Join our Team" button. From there you can make a donation and start your fundraising.
