Every birthday is a blessing! Breathing itself, is a blessing.
Desi is turning NINE years old and WE WANT MORE BIRTHDAYS WITH HER!!
Instead of going to get coffee (or a treat) DONATE that $9 here for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to give Desi many more birthdays!
9 years ago Desi was born and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis- a progressive, life shortening genetic disease that causes thick sticky mucous to line the organs of the body and reduce their impact.
The lungs themselves are hit especially hard so overtime it can becoming more challenging to take a deep breath.
When she was born the median life expectancy was 38 years old. And while, thankfully, that number is greater today- 61(!), that is not a guarantee for her.
That median life expectancy has increased because someone said "This story will be different" and did something about it.
