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.
My Story
I was diagnosed with CF when I was one month old and ever since my family and my self have been making it our top priority to keep me healthy. I take almost 30 pills per day and do breathing treatments to keep my lungs healthy. About 4 years ago my doctors allowed me to take a new drug called Tricafta. This allowed my lungs to clear up more than ever. Tricafta allowed me to keep on playing the sport I love and maintain my lung function over 120%. This drug has allowed me to live my life to the fullest and not be worried about my health 24/7. Thanks to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation funding Tricafta I am living my best life. But our work is not done and there a lot more patients with CF that this drug cannot help due to it targeting certain genes. We need your help to further research and find cure!
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
