It’s been a crazy few years and we haven’t walked in so long!
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body.
Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery. But in people with CF, a defective gene causes the secretions to become sticky and thick. Instead of acting as lubricants, the secretions plug up tubes, ducts and passageways, especially in the lungs and pancreas.
Tommy has been doing so great on one of the newest CF medications! We have adjusted a lot over the last few years, figuring out what works and what doesn’t for this body. He is learning exactly what he needs to do in order to stay healthy and we are doing everything we can to ensure the same! There still is no cure though, until we can ensure that he will live a long and healthy life, we will not stop fundraising, raising awareness and fighting!
Please join us! You can walk in person, virtually or just donate! Every step and penny matter. Help us fight until CF stands for Cure Found!!
