My Great Strides Story

Hi, I’m Mason, and I’m 12 years old. I have Cystic Fibrosis, which makes my life a little different from yours. Even though I have to do some extra stuff every day to stay healthy, I don’t let it slow me down!
Here’s what living with CF means for me:
Playing hockey and snowboarding are my favorite things right now but I am also looking forward to playing soccer this summer.
I feel really lucky to have so many amazing people cheering me on. My family, friends, and so many others have shown amazing support in my fight to find a cure for CF.
Thank you very much!

Here’s what living with CF means for me:
- I take enzymes before every snack and meal so my body can get the nutrients it needs.
- Every day, I wear my vibration vest for 40 minutes to help keep my lungs clear.
- I use a nebulizer to take medicines that keep the mucus in my lungs loose.
- When I get a cold, I take liquid antibiotics to help me fight it off.
- I also take extra gummy and liquid vitamins to stay strong.
Playing hockey and snowboarding are my favorite things right now but I am also looking forward to playing soccer this summer.
