If anyone had asked me 9 years ago if I was going to be a parent, my answer was that it wasn't something I thought would be possible. Fast forward to February of 2015 and a phone call from a friend and the wheels were in motion for Al and I to be parents. On April 9th, Leola was born and our lives were changed forever. Little did we know that 9 days later our lives would be set on a course for which no one could have prepared us. Cystic Fibrosis entered our lives in the form of several medical professionals in gowns and masks. Since then, it has been a whirlwind of raising an amazing, inquisitive, intelligent, and challenging (of her parents ) daughter, while traversing the world of CF with and for her.
There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.
Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease, but due to advances in medications, not only are people living longer, they are also needing more CF clinics for adults.
By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!
Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
