Hi, I’m Holly, Caroline’s mom. :)

When Caroline was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a newborn, our world shifted.

At the time, the average life expectancy for someone with CF was just 39 years. In the CF community, it wasn’t uncommon to need a lung or liver transplant in your late teens, 20s, or 30s.

From that very first appointment, I knew I would do anything and everything I could to help extend her life but more than that Ty and I committed to showing her just why life is worth fighting for.  

Since then, Caroline has amazed us every day with her strength and spirit. She does daily airway clearance treatments using her vest and nebulized medications — 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening, every single day. When she’s sick, that increases to 3–4 sessions a day. She also takes 25 pills daily, including three forms of a life-changing genetic modulator and three different inhaled medications to help keep her lungs clear.

And yes — we’re counting her two early-morning Disney princess belting sessions as therapy too. 🎶💖

When you join us, donate, or even just share her story, you’re helping give Caroline and so many others a chance at a longer, healthier life.

Thank you for being part of her story. 🦋
