Our team is driven by a dream that one day, every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life. You can help us reach that goal!
Our Story
Before Travis was born we hadn't ever heard of Cystic Fibrosis. After his diagnosis, we got a crash course in CF. This disease changes your world.
The life expectancy of CFers has been rising in recent decades thanks to development in medications and treatment. It used to be that CFers didn't make it to elementary school. Now people are growing up and having their own families. This could not have happened without the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I've had the opportunity to work with the South Texas Chapter this year as we've been learning about CF, and this is a truly committed community of people. The truth is that developing new medications and treatments is expensive but CFF is committed to funding a cure.
Travis fights everyday against CF. This disease effects many different parts of his body but, from the outside he looks healthy, and other than some excessive farting and a couple coughs you may not know he has a disease. We do vest therapy and inhaled nebulizer treatments multiple times a day and take digestive enzymes with every single meal and snack. The treatments, medications, and doctors appointments are all Travis has known. And because this disease is chronic, life-long, progressive, and doesn't yet have a cure, we will keep fighting. We fight everyday day so Travis can have more tomorrows.
Please join us in supporting our fundraising goal of raising $3,000. Every dollar helps. You can donate on behalf of an individual team member or join our fundraising team.
With love,
