Isaiah was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was just a week old at Albany Med after he was admitted there for not breathing after he was born. 

    He was also admitted into the hospital when he was just a month and a half old for he stopped breathing at home and had his first helicopter ride in life he had the virus and four bacterial infections. 

    Isaiah turned 5 this past November. He started Kindergarten in a special educational class due to him also being Autistic. He continues his therapies which are occupational, Speech, and physical therapy at school. He has changed so much since being in school setting  for first time. He has made a few friends and his teachers absolutely adore him. 

    He has had a rough start to the school year as he is constantly getting sick, he has had bacterial infections, rsv now twice, Flu, and regular colds. Just an ongoing battle! 

     Isaiah is a very happy boy, has an amazing personality, sensitive, loves his family, his dog Emma, absolutely loves animals and loves being at the ocean. 

 There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them. Will you join me and support my 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.
