Join our team and help add tomorrows!

Our story with Cystic Fibrosis started shortly after Aug. 30 2013 when our son Riley was born. We had driven 30 hours straight across the country to get there for his birth and saw him for the 1st time when he was 10 minutes old! We were already in love but there is nothing that can describe the well of love and emotion when they first put him in our arms. A few days later when they told us the blockage in his intestines most likely meant he had Cystic Fibrosis and asked if we wanted to continue with his adoption we were astounded. Not at the diagnosis but that they thought we would back out. There was never any question, our hearts were Riley's the minute his birthmom told us she had selected us as the adoptive parents for her son. We really had no idea what Cystic Fibrosis was or what it would mean for our lives and more importantly for Riley's life, but it didn't matter, we were his parents and we were/are in it for the long haul! We want it to be a LONG, LONG haul! We want Riley to have a LONG, HAPPY life full of doing and being anything and everything he ever dreams of doing and achieving! For that to happen we need a cure. We need advances in treatment. That is why we are raising money for the CF Foundation, they do so much for the fight, families and those living with CF, please help us make a difference.

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. We walk for them. Will you join us? All we need you to do to become a member of our team is click on the "Join our Team" button. From there you can make a donation and start your fundraising.
