Kendall’s Story

At 9 months my daughter Kendall Mae was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She is now 21 years old and although she continues to struggle with her health, she lives a fuller life than we ever imagined. This is all because of constant research and recent medications that have become life changing for those who suffer with CF.  

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF still die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

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 for my beautiful daughter and all those suffering?

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!
