Both my sisters, Courtney (34) and Kaylee (21), struggle with this lung and digestive disease every day. They struggle every day just to breathe and stay healthy. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.

Real progress has been made in the search for a cure. Your donations are helping provide drugs that are increasing Courtney and Kaylee's quality of life and hopefully soon- a cure! 

Life expectancy when Courtney was born for people with CF was 16. Now she's 32 and just had her second child in January 2021! CF patients are living to their 50s and more!! With the support of CFF, new drugs like Trikafta are not only helping patients live longer- but INCREASING their quality of life as well! (Courtney's lung function in April 2021 was 72% thanks to Trikafta- just 5 years ago her lung function was down to 34%!). Dr. Stites, the Chief Medical Officer at The University of Kansas Health System, on his podcast on October 8, 2021, said that the newest drug Trikafta has given 90% of CF patients a NORMAL life expectancy!

But the lives of people with CF are still tough and 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!
