A breath for Britain and Bruce

Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe. 

With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.  

We walk for my children, Britain, 12 years old and Bruce, 7 years old. Bruce was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a baby and Britain was diagnosed at 8 years old. 

Each day Britain and Bruce must do nebulizer and vest treatments to keep their lungs healthy. They endure long doctor visits four times a year along with blood work and chest scans to make sure their lungs have not scarred. Bruce has been lucky enough to start taking Trikafta, which this walk helped to fundraise to create. While it is not a cure, this medication will help Bruce live a longer healthier life.
