I will be walking in the CF walk this year. Please help donate if you can. I am walking in memory of my best friend Charity who died in January of 2013 and for children and adults with cystic fibrosis everywhere. I have cystic fibrosis and I am only alive today thanks to the advancements made from the clinical trials and the research done by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. When I was born, I failed to thrive and I was diagnosed with CF at 8 months old. At that time, they expected me to die before I turned 5 years old. Most infants today are diagnosed at birth or beforehand through genetic testing. Please make a donation to help ensure that these children will have healthy futures. CF mostly affects caucasions, but it can affect people of any race and nationality. I have two separate genes, the most common one, delta f508 and a rarer one, R334W.
My friend Charity's days have stopped at the age of 33. Her little sister Hope's stopped at the tender age of 8. My days continue on and so do many with CF. Please help add tomorrows, today, by making a donation or joining me on my walk. Thank you!
There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. 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.
Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!
Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
Please support me!
Help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.
