Peyton's Pack

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 with sodium chloride and a new medication pulmozyme that she started January 2022.

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.

Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe. 

With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.  

We walk in Great Strides for them.
