My Great Strides Story

My niece Mabel is nothing short of resilient. Her daily routine is different than most kids her age but that doesn’t stop her. She is the coolest little girl I know, she’s my son’s bestie & she is one of a select few allowed to call me Jilly.
Over the years there have been significant advancements in the treatment of CF. Unfortunately, the help for Mabel is still far away. Mabel was born with two rare mutations, and she is not a candidate for the new treatments available today. The fight ramped up this past year as she continued to fall short of her weight goals; therefore, extra steps had to be taken to help, including a feeding tube. Im thrilled to report that it is helping! Still, the fight continues. Please consider donating to help make CF stand for CURE FOUND!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jill, Nelson, & Thomas ♥️
