Canaan is an a sweet and hilarious 5 year old boy who loves the outdoors!  He is determined to try every sport available to boys his age. And he is such a smart little guy!! Canaan also has Cystic Fibrosis  

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a rare, genetic life-shortening disease that affects the lungs, digestive, reproductive, endocrine and other systems.

Canaan was diagnosed with CF at birth.  He is pancreatic insufficient and has had 2 hospitalizations due to GI complications.  He undergoes a daily preventative regimen of various oral and inhaled meds, supplements and physio chest therapy to manage his diagnosis.

I walk for Canaan and the many others who need a cure!  Will you join me and support our fundraising goal?

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is STILL NO CURE for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. Will you join me? Please consider donating to Canaan’s Great Strides fundraising campaign today!

Please support Canaan! 

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting groundbreaking research and medical progress towards a cure. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
