Mila, Remi, and Gabriel were born with a rare, genetic disease called, Cystic Fibrosis. “Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes long-lasting lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.” -cff.org
In short, due to their body’s inability to regulate salt levels, the naturally occurring mucus in the body gets too thick and sticky causing blockages, trapping bacteria in the lungs, and creating damage in the lungs, pancreas, bowels, and sinuses. It’s a domino effect in the body. Many times, people with CF require double lung transplants in addition to the daily treatments and medications they do/take multiple times a day. We are sooo very close to a cure. They suspect a cure could come in the kids’ lifetime. How exciting!! Thank you for your support!
There are approximately 40,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?
Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.
Please support me!
We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
