Jaime Kendrick

Avery was born on April 20,2010. As if having a new born with 9 years between the last child was not challenging enough, we received some unfortunate news a couple weeks after she was born. Avery was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), which is a chronic genetic disease that affects her lungs & digestive system. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease. We have learned a lot about this disease since Avery’s birth. Despite living with this disease on a daily basis with multiple treatments & medicines, Avery continues to be a fun loving, energetic & active girl that loves going to school, enjoys playing basketball, volleyball, and softball, she loves going on vacation, camping, and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

I am trying to help raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This organization is trying to find a cure for this disease. Even though CF is the most prevalent genetic disease in the United States, it does not receive government funding like some other diseases; therefore, it is even more important to help raise money to find a cure for this deadly disease. With your help, we can find a cure! Please donate today!

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.

Please support me!

Help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.
