This year we have decided to share with everyone why we have a Purple CF in our Christmas light display. It stands for Cystic Fibrosis.We have two children who have Cystic Fibrosis. We want to help raise awareness as this disease does not get any government funding. If you love our display please help us by donating to help find a cure. Help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.
We walk in Great Strides for Maverick, Sadie and those living with CF.
Maverick was diagnosed when he was 2.5 months old and Sadie was diagnosed when she was 2 weeks old. Maverick was in and out of the hospital through second grade. Sadie had a really hard time and was in the hospital. Sadie ended up needing to get a g-tube. With the advancements in medication there have been huge improvements on the lives of those with Cystic Fibrosis. If it were not for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and all those who have donated we would not be where we are today. Maverick was able to play football at his high school. Sadie was able to have her g-tube removed. We know we are fortunate but we also know there is no cure for CF. So please help us raise money for Cystic Fibrosis.
By making a donation, you will be part of a tenacious and passionate group of people committed to ending this disease. Together, let’s make CF stand for Cure Found!
