Cystic Fibrosis impacts each person just a little bit differently. For Mila, her cold and cough always was twice as long as anyone else. And she never skipped out on catching everything that has gone around. She is the epitome of "doesn't look sick" until she is fighting a fever and an infection because her body can't recover from respiratory illnesses like everyone else. And of course, she is the only one in the CF data base with her combinations of genes so sometimes she gets excluded from research or treatment plans.

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. We will not leave anyone behind.  

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
