We support CF Research for Ryleigh!
Ryleigh is one of Ava’s best friends and such a blessing to all who know her! She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 10 days old. It was a very rough first year of life for her, and for many years after, she has been on an intense daily regimen to help her function well.
Over the last few years, God has allowed great strides in CF research and there is now a medication that has greatly helped Ryleigh and many others. Unfortunately, this medication doesn’t help everyone. We are choosing to walk on May 18th to not only support Ryleigh, but also to bring awareness to the community for all those affected by CF. We hope to raise funds for more research so that one day, there will be medicines to improve ALL the lives of those who have CF.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — but these treatments are not a cure and not everyone can benefit from them. We must keep going.
Your support makes a difference.
By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
