Andrew was born on November 2, 2013 with an intestinal blockage that required surgery immediately after delivery. As he recovered, we learned that Andrew has two copies of the df508 mutation and has cystic fibrosis. After 12 weeks in the NICU and two intestinal surgeries, Andrew is growing and thriving but has a lifetime of health issues ahead of him. We are hopeful that through more funding for research, a cure for cf can be found in Andrew's lifetime!

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. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.

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. 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!

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