When will I get to say - CF stands for cure found? Not yet!
I was blessed to give birth to Scott in a time that did not test for CF and I enjoyed four years of an often sick child ( never more than our local hero/pediatrician that diagnosed him could not handle with an office visit and some trips to the pharmacy) but a life without fear of the enemy we would one day face. I also was able to give him a sister that has fearlessly and tirelessly stood by his side through it all. (ok not always fearlessly - but absolutely tirelessly) NO one can pick on her brother but her and visa-versa. If you want to be moved read her page. Please continue to fight for these folks with an orphan disease that there is still no cure. We've seen too many come and go from CF. Our family will always live in gratitude to God for Scott's life. I cannot imagine a life without him. Celebrate with us - this year he turns 29, will be married 2 years and is practicing VA law for 4 years. That is a life well lived. Kudos to Scott for never giving up and never giving in. That little guy stole my heart the day he entered this world. I'll always be your biggest fan Scott !!
From the foundation :
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.
