Peyton was only a few days old when she was diagnosed with CF through her new born screening.

Peyton has to do her airway clearance twice a day which includes her inhaler and her vest treatment which is 20 minutes, she also has to do her nebulizer once daily which includes sodium chloride and another medication called pulmozyme. 
Peyton had her first admission in the hospital November 2021 for pneumonia, a month later she had a follow up Xray which still showed a little mucous build up which is when we decided to start her on her new medication Kalydeco which she is taking it twice daily, this medication helps eases the transport of salts and water in and out of cells to improve hydration and clear mucous. 

If Peyton gets any type of respiratory issues like a cough we have to increase her airway clearance to 4 times a day.

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.  

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
