I am walking for Team Lex! I have become very fond of the family members of this family and when I was sent the link to donate I thought I would do one better and join this amazing family walk and fundraise right along with them!

Team Lex is back for another year and we are getting started early! Who is ready to join us in our fight against Cystic Fibrosis?

With every year we get closer to finding a cure for all of those effective by C.F. The way of life for many has drastically improved and for you who know Alexander, you have got to see it first hand.

His new medicine Trikafta his body is able to now do what ours do naturally. He is gaining weight properly and the thick mucus is less prominent in his body so he is not growing harmful bacteria in his lungs. He gets to be an 
energetic little boy without having to worry about anything. After all that is our job.

Even with these amazing advances in medicine it is still important that we continue to fight for a cure because of the worry that sits in the back of our mind. 

We will not settle until we have a cure for our little man.

We will not stop until it is no longer needed for him to take his trikafta pills twice a day.

We will keep fighting so that he can have a life not having to worry about periodic doctors visits.

We are going to keep going so that the anxiety of waiting for test results, wondering if this time there will be a different result, is just a past memory.

We are here to fight for a cure for as long as it takes! So let's show this amazing foundation our support for Alexander and everyone else fighting for a cure. Come and join us in our walk so we can have the biggest team we ever have.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

For those he need the clinical background vs this personal story…CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.  

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
