For too long, cystic fibrosis, a rare, genetic disease, has robbed people of tomorrows - progressively limiting their ability to breathe and tragically shortening life. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.

I walk for them. Will you join me and support my Great Strides fundraising goal?

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.

By walking with me in Great Strides, you can help accelerate the Foundation's pursuit of new therapies and provide vital support to meet the needs of the CF community.

Please support me!

Your participation will help us get one step closer to ending this terrible disease. Let's make CF stand for Cure Found.

Teddy is a 4 year old energetic, fun, and lovable little man!  At week 10 of my pregnancy with him, we received the results from a procedure confirming he in fact had cystic fibrosis. We have been so lucky with his health in the past 4 years aside from one specific culture roughly two years ago. The culture found that teddy had grown pseudomonas. A bacteria specifically targeting the health of people with cystic fibrosis. Teddy then had to do a 90 day breathing treatment via nebulizer with hopes of eradicating the said bacteria.
When cultured after the 90 days, he still showed the pseudomonas. We then started a second round of the 90 days of nebulizer treatment. With that being said Teddy's days consisted of two morning treatments & one night treatment. With a baby of his age that was quite challenging as you can imagine but he was such a good sport about it all! Luckily, after a total of 180 days he had fully eradicated the bacteria. Teddy’s current treatment regimen consists Kalydeco twice daily, his chest PT which we have a vest for and a nebulizer. Teddy is a strong adorable sweet boy and is doing so good! Please join us by donating and or walking to support cystic fibrosis. Let's kick CF's butt !!!
