“Marc’s Trotters” - This Team Walk will be on Devens not Worcester

Our grandson, Marc, was 10 days old when he was diagnosed with CF. We were unaware of the gravity of this disease. We had heard of it, but never knew anyone with it. After he was diagnosed, we got involved to learn about this disease. The more we learned the more we realized how important the research is and we got involved in fundraising because of the cost of research.

We made our first walk in May 2015 in Chelmsford, when Marc was 2 years old. We are known as “Marc’s Trotters”.

This is our 9th year! One important part of the walk is that it gives us a chance to educate people - especially about the fact that CF is something a person cannot outgrow.

Marc turned 11 on March 7th, he has been relatively healthy and with the help of his parents and team of specialist, he has never been hospitalized. Marc still must spend 2-3 hours each day on his daily treatments and must be careful in public to keep safe from bacteria and viruses that could make him sick. He also takes pancreatic enzymes with each meal to help him to digest his food, but he still often has stomach pains.
