Briana was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis on November 8, 2016. A date that I can't forget as it was my birthday. It has been a struggle since the day she was born as she was born just before they started testing with the heel sticks. They started that in 2009 which was the year she was born but it didn't happen with the stick until later that year. She struggle with many things as a baby that many kids with CF deal with. Up until the day she was diagnosed officially I knew very little about it. Now that she has been diagnosed there has been so many up and down moments we have had in her health care but we learn more each day. Every year we have the opportunity to raise money to help find a cure and this year is not different. We took last year off for health reasons but are hoping to come back strong this year. Please help us in raising money and joining out team today. Below you can see just a few ways that your help can do to support those who have CF and a little bit about it.
