Join TEAM RUN FOR ROSES and help add tomorrows!
It takes hours of treatments and handfuls of meds each day for those with CF to 'just breathe'. We walk / run for them because WE CAN. WILLYOU JOIN US?
Our daughter, Katie, lives with CF. Since Katie was little, we have watched her begin each day with such positivity, kindness and a drive to give back to those who have been in her life: her family and friends, her caregivers at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, Barnes and to all those who live with a chronic illness. She has accepted the challenge of ilving with CF. However, CF does not define Katie. It is just a part of her journey. She has never turned down a challenge. But as her parents, we will work tirelessly to help make her journey easier so she is able to fulfill all of her dreams.
In early 2019 I wrote, "By the end of 2019, a drug is targeted to be on the market whcih will help 93% of the CF gene mutations." Well, it happened! 2019 will go down as one of the best years in Katie's life!
2019 saw Katie graduate with her Master's in Social Work from the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis, secure her position in Counseling at SIU-E, marry the love of her life, Tyler, and begin Trikafta!
2021 saw Katie receive her LIcense in CLincal Social Work and open her private practice, The Loom Therapy!
WE WILL NOT STOP NOW UNTIL THIS IS DONE and there i s a CURE FOR CF!
But WE NEED YOU to help us with spreading the work...spreading awareness...and fundraising your dollars for research to continue at this much quickened pace.
There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.
