I am personally dedicated to doing whatever I can to help raise money for a cure for our good friends Dennis and Jen O’Leary’s son Casey and all the others who bravely battle this disease.  I’m hoping you will support me! 

Casey and our son Alex have been friends since the fourth grade and we’ve seen how this disease impacts Casey’s daily life (through hours of nebulizers, chest therapies, countless pills and regular hospital stays for IV antibiotics via a PICC line).  As a parent, I can’t imagine having a child with a disease that could shorten his life and has such an impact on the quality of his daily life. I am determined to help in any way I can! 

Casey endures these routines to stay as healthy as possible until more transformative therapies are developed to treat the rare CF mutations that he has that do not respond to the current "miracle drugs" that have changed the lives of so many CF patients. We are hopeful that a mRNA based therapy will be his first miracle drug and the early results from trials for this research for this are positive. The path to a cure is real.

Please consider donating to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through my Great Strides Page below to help fund critical research for Casey and all the others afflicted with this horrible disease. With your help we can make CF stand for CURE FOUND!

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart!
