Reinforcements - extra personnel sent to increase the strength of an army. We are so grateful for our army and all the strength and support y'all have already given us.
We received Riley's diagnosis at 6 weeks old. This disease is complex and completely different for each person. Currently with Riley’s mutation he will not be able to take the current therapies or medications available. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is leading the way through funding for research and care for patients. We are hopeful there will be therapies, treatments and eventually a cure for this disease for every person with cystic fibrosis. While we learn more about this disease, and how it is effecting Riley in particular, we plan to raise as much awareness and funds as we can. Even if you have nothing to give but prayers and support please join our team as a walker or virtual walker and be there with us in spirit. Help us spread awareness for this disease. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have already received, our strong Riley is so loved.
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.
