I am walking for my amazing son, Colton!
He is such a joy to be around. He loves his family, friends, hockey, animals, the outdoors, and so much more. He has taught everyone around him to try and enjoy the little things. Even though he doesnt look affected by this disease, he is day in and day out. With all the treatments to keep up with, medicines, doctors appointments, and just the every day little pauses in life to keep him healthy. He doesnt always like it but he knows he needs it and is a strong little guy to always get it done.
We love all the support we get from family and friends and appreciate you all more than youll ever know.
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.
