Our Great Strides Story

Reis and Evren’s page.

Reis

My name is Reis Kirkpatrick and I’m 10 years old. I’ve had Cystic Fibrosis since I was born.

Cystic Fibrosis makes sticky mucus that closes up my lungs. To help that I have to do chest PT once every day and swallow pills three times a day. I have been swallowing pills since I was two years old!

I started taking Kalydeco when I was two, and in 2019, I started taking Trikafta. Trikafta has helped me a lot and I am very lucky, because for some people it doesn’t work.

I am raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because the Foundation needs to do research to make new pills and better medicines for everyone. The research costs money and all of the money that is raised will go for that research.

There is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis yet, but hopefully one day……

Evren

My name is Evren Kirkpatrick and Reis is my sister.

I am raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Ever since I can remember Reis has been hopping around and being very fun and exciting. I am sure that this is because she’s taking the CF pills that keep her very healthy.

We are raising money so the scientists can use the money to make better pills for the people that can’t take Trikafta and also newer pills for Reis.

Your support makes a difference.

By donating to our fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
