At just 18 days old, our precious boy was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. As first-time parents, the news crushed us. But now we have been in this fight with him for over a year and we will keep fighting until CF stands for "Cure Found!" With every ounce of energy in us, we pursue the most innovative treatments for him, we raise money in the fervent hope for a cure, and we spread awareness to anyone who will listen. And we do it all while thanking God for giving us Samuel, and thanking you for jumping into this fight alongside us.
We knew that Samuel was miraculous from the day we found out we were pregnant, but it's clear that God has even bigger plans for him. We have no doubt that he will inspire us all with his strength in tackling whatever lies ahead.
Sadly, the lives of people with CF are still being cut short and the life expectency is about 40 years old. We just don't think that's long enough for Samuel, or anyone else out there. A cure is on the horizon, but it takes money to find that cure and CF is such a rare disease that no government dollars go towards it. Through the fundraising work of people like you, there are a record number of new drugs being studied to change the course of this disease. The next dollar raised could be the one that finds the miracle we pray for everyday! Please join us in our fight by donating to or joining our team. Together we are Samuel Strong!
