When we first found out Julia had Cystic Fibrosis, there were no words to describe our fear, worry, and anxiety. The future seemed so unsure. Staring at my newborn baby, I couldn't help but wonder what her life would be like.
Now, Julia is fourteen years old and we are managing her disease. She is able to dance, attend school, play piano, be active in her church, all because of the advancements of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Fifty years ago, the medications and treatments that keep her healthy were only a dream.
Today, when I see my daughter I am filled with joy, wonder, admiration and hope. Julia is strong. She is a fighter. Our dream is to not simply treat the symptoms, but treat the underlying cause in her gene. Donations towards our team go to support curing CF and giving patients with CF a happier, longer life.
We truly love Team Julia. Not just our beautiful daughter, but the entire group of people that have supported us through the years! We could not do this without you! Thank you for supporting Team Julia!
