Dreams for Dylan has been walking in Great Strides and raising money for Cystic Fibrosis since Dylan was diagnosed two weeks after he was born in August 2011. Dylan is a happy and fun 12 year old boy who enjoys swimming with his two brothers, Legos, and Harry Potter. 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. We will not stop until there is a cure for him and all that are affected daily by CF.
Our Dreams for Dylan include him living 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 us. Our dream is that Dylan will defy the odds. Will you help make our dreams a reality?
