This is our WHY!
Adelaide "Addie" Pender was born May 2021 with CF. She is our granddaughter (Brooks' baby) and an absolute precious ball of energy! Addie has adapted well to her daily therapy and medications. It's all she's ever known having started enzymes to help her absorb nutrients since she was 10 DAYS old! In the world of CF, Trikafta is being labeled as a miracle drug (for the 90% who are candidates), and Addie was able to start this medication June 2023 after just turning 2!
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. We walk for Addie and all who are affected by CF. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal by donating $75?
Real progress has been made for those who have CF as the life expectancy has increased to 56, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease. Many lives are still 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!
Thank you for your support from our WHOLE hearts!
