I have been walking in Great Strides and raising money for Cystic Fibrosis since my son Dylan was diagnosed two weeks after he was born in August 2011.  Dylan is a fun, energetic, and happy 12 year old boy.  He loves swimming with his two brothers, Legos, and Harry Potter.  His favorite food is ice cream and his favorite color is gray. He is the life of the party and takes pleasure in making people laugh.  Dylan is also living and thriving with Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic illness that affects the lungs and digestive system.  He does chest physical therapy and breathing treatments daily in order to stay healthy.  He also takes many pills throughout the day to aid with digestion.  I will not stop until there is a cure for him and all that are affected daily by CF.

My Dream for Dylan is for him to live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life without the aid of countless daily treatments and medications.  Dylan's dream is to grow up and become a vet so that he can help animals.  The average life expectancy for people with Cystic Fibrosis is approximately 44 years old.  This is not good enough for me.  My dream is that Dylan will defy the odds.  Will you help make my dreams a reality?

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with Cystic Fibrosis.  They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers.  I walk for them as well and hope you will support me in my efforts.

Real progress has been made thanks to science and your donations! Vital medications are now avaliable to many people with CF, but not all! By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with Cystic Fibrosis.  Will you join me?  Support me by registering to walk with us or by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.

Please support me!
