2023 WALK!!!! Let’s do this! Here is why I walk & fundraise:
In 1985, I was born 12 weeks premature, life-flighted and had surgery to remove 10% of my intestines. I spent the first 6 months in the hospital. I’d end up every year at least 2-3 times in the hospital. Now, at the age of 39, I’ve been hospitalized 60times, had 20 surgeries—— but I have seen what research can do! Since Trikafta came to market I have gained 10% of my lung function back, said goodbye to a few meds, and said goodbye to stomach tube, and got rid of my mediport! We are making GREAT STRIDES!
Despite my having Cystic Fibrosis, I’ve always lived my life like a regular person! I believe my obstacles (CF-Arthritis, Cerebral Palsy, Seizure Disorder) all have made me stronger as an individual. I work hard for what I want in life, but I know I always have family and friends who support me.
Here’s how you can help!
