Please support our team and help us add tomorrows for all those with Cystic Fibrosis!

Since receiving the news in 1997 that 2 of our 3 sons had Cystic Fibrosis, we have worked diligently every year to raise money to find a cure for this dreaded disease.  Over the years, our team of dedicated walkers and supporters has raised over $300K for a cure and we won't stop until a cure has been found for not only our family, but for all of those with CF.  

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited, chronic disease that affects more than 30,000 adults and children in the US.  The disease attacks the lungs and leads to life threatening lung infections as well as a multitude of other health issues.  The research and care of the CF Foundation is making a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF.  In the years since we received our diagnosis, we have watched the average survival rate increase significantly, have benefitted from newly developed therapies, and have watched enthusiastically as more and more therapies are developed.  All of these developments are so wonderful, but the job will not be complete until there is a CURE for not only our boys, but every CF patient.  That is why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner - rather than later.

Please help us meet our team's fund-raising goal of by making a donation to our team.  As the president of the CF Foundation says, "money buys science and science finds a cure!"

Together we can make a difference in the lives of not only Michael and Nathan, but all of those with CF!
