Hi, my name is Gavin, and I want to help raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. My little brother, Nolan, has CF. Every day, he has to take a lot of medicine so his tummy doesn’t hurt. He also has to wear a Vest that shakes him twice a day to help get the yucky stuff out of his lungs. When I’m home, I sit with him while he does it. I help him pick a show to watch or teach him how to play a game on my Nintendo Switch.
I have to be really careful about germs because if I get sick, Nolan can get sick too. My mom makes me wash my hands a lot, and I have to stay away from mud, dirt, and puddles because there are tiny bad germs that can hurt Nolan’s lungs.
Even though Nolan has CF, he is my best friend, and I love him so much. I just want him to be with me forever. I hope that one day there will be a cure so he won’t have to take all that medicine or do all the extra stuff—he can just play like any other kid!
Will you help me raise money to find a cure for Nolan and other kids with CF?
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF 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?
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.
