We do this walk every year to raise money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I, like many people, knew nothing about CF until about 8 years ago when I was pregnant and when a blood test came back saying I was a carrier of the gene. We learned all we could and soon Caleb was born. He has had a rough beginning and we work every single day to ensure he stays healthy but we are kicking CF butt one day at a time. He does two breathing treatments (nebulizer and an airway clearance vest) everyday and up to 4 when he is sick. He takes several medications just to stay healthy including pancreatic enzymes to be able to eat and digest fat and protein in his meals properly, he also takes an inhaler and he got a g-tube this year to get more nutrition and calories.
There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.
Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me 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!
