We are cure seekers! We know that the cure is out there and we will fight hard to uncover it with your help. It is seriously a game of hide-and-go seek, finding ways to fight the germs hiding in our lung lobes and seeking cures that can eradicate them. 

Both Anna (daughter) and Nikki (mom) do not qualify for the ground breaking treatment options that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Great Strides efforts helped uncover for some people living with cystic fibrosis. We are still waiting...filled with hope that what might have happened to others will happen again for the rest of the cystic fibrosis community. We know that if we look hard enough and with enough people, we will find a cure for all. 

But we found you! Join us on the walk in Seattle, walk at a Great Strides walk in your neighborhood, or consider donating to a life changing cause. We need you! Each year, cystic fibrosis progresses and it gets harder to stay healthy. This will be a decision that you can stand behind! You have the power to not only save lives but to give people a future.   

Anna, our 5 year old daughter, always says, "We can do it if we try. I believe in you!" In a world where her life is at risk, struggling to breathe at times, having weeks long hospital stays, and in chronic pain with the other CF related things...she faces it with optimism and believes that one day, we will find a cure for all. 

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.

You can support our family!
