"Dum spiro spero: While I breathe, I hope."
Meet our CF Warrior Caden! Caden was born 7 years ago with cystic fibrosis, a rare progressive genetic disorder that affects the lungs and pancreas. Since Caden will fight this for the rest of his life, we hope to engage our community and grow awareness. Caden has been fortunate to be able to take new drug therapies, like Orkambi and Trikafta, to minimize symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. On the horizon is the newest modulator, Alyftrek, that has recently been approved for Caden's age group. The benefit of this drug is that it only needs to be taken once a day. We are so blessed, that Caden’s disease has gone from a life expectancy of 40 when he was born, to now 65! The research to make these drugs possible is due to the fundraising efforts of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Great Strides Walk. Every dollar donated makes a difference!! Despite the new drugs, Caden still needs to do treatments twice a day, wearing his oscillating vest to keep his lungs clear. He also needs to take enzymes before he eats. In spite of all of that, Caden is a happy, well-adjusted strong warrior, who loves all things sports related! Caden's parents, Jeff and Gina, along with brothers Cameron, Casey and Logan, invite you to join us at the Great Strides Walk at the Cleveland Zoo on Saturday, May 17, 2025. If you can't join us, click on Caden's name to donate to our team. We won't stop until CF stands for Cure Found!!
We invite you to take part in Great Strides by joining our team. We promise, you belong here! This event promises to be a fun-filled day where you can help advance the care and research needed to cure cystic fibrosis. By walking with us, you’ll enjoy not only the natural camaraderie (yes, lots of laughter!), but the important impact we are making together.
While the CF Foundation has made incredible progress, not everyone with CF can benefit from existing therapies and we still need a cure. This will require time, funding, and persistence – but with you on our team – we are ready to go the distance.
Our team is committed to providing every person with CF the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Will you join us?
