My why:
10 years without you here fighting for a cure, but 10 years breathing easy. We miss you beyond the stars and love you to infinity, this is my WHY I continue to fight for a cure. Most everyone who follows me either knew him in person or has heard me talk about him a time or two )! Cole Croteau was a person all his own. He was sarcastic, hard headed and never knew when to just walk away BUT he was also kind, caring and so passionate. He was the kid who would put his disease on the back burner to make others smile. He was the kid who would go out on a cold night after doing hours of treatments and feed the homeless. he is the kid who would do anything for anyone and expect nothing in return. He is also the kid who loved with his whole heart and nothing less. I am so thankful and proud to call him my hero and baby brother. He is one of my reasons of why I continue to raise money, awareness and fight for a cure. Even though this cure won’t bring him back it will help so many people with cf live out the their dreams and future, which is all Cole ever wanted.
I miss you every single day Colabug to the moon and stars.
Come join us as we walk for those who lives have been affected by this disease.
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.
Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
You can support me!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
