Kaylee Alvarado

Friends and Family:

Join Team Kaylee May in the fight against cystic fibrosis! There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.

While real progress has been made in the search for a cure, the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There is still no cure for this devastating disease. There are still multi-week hospital stays and procedures, daily pills and treatments, crippling coughing fits and stomachaches, and the daunting "what ifs" that are constantly in the back of my mind. Recently, my personal journey with CF has taken a new, challenging, and (admittedly) scary turn: the idea of undergoing a double lung transplant sometime in the next couple of years.

By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis, my own included. I am doing my part in finding a cure, a dream that I have had for as long as I can remember-- literally! Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign (Team Kaylee May), and help me reach my team goal of $5000.00. Your gift will help fund life-saving research and medical advancements that will dramatically improve the quality of life for people with cystic fibrosis, and is 100-percent tax deductible.

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families. I promise you'll have a blast! Hope to see you there! :)
