Team Hope for Hayes walks for our sweet boy, Hayes, who will be three years old this January. Hayes entered the world unexpectedly with Cystic Fibrosis and a serious complication called meconium ileus. At just five days old, he underwent lifesaving surgery, and one week later we received his official CF diagnosis—forever changing our lives.
 

Since birth, Hayes has shown remarkable strength. He has already experienced four hospital stays, countless medical appointments, and a daily routine that includes at least two therapy sessions every day, each lasting thirty minutes. This is the reality of life with Cystic Fibrosis—but it is also a story of perseverance, bravery, and unwavering hope.
 

Above all else, Hayes is joy. He is full of life and always on the go—singing at the top of his lungs, racing monster trucks across the floor, and playing with anything that has wheels, especially tractors and trains. He loves curling up with a good story, laughing with his family, and takes great pride in being the very best big brother to his baby brother, Holden. His energy, curiosity, and love for life light up every room he enters.
 

Our faith has been a constant source of strength throughout Hayes’ journey. We believe God knew Hayes before he took his first breath and continues to walk with him through every challenge and victory. Even on the hardest days, we cling to the hope that God is working through Hayes’ story for a greater purpose—one filled with healing, progress, and miracles yet to come. We are deeply grateful for the prayers, love, and support that continue to carry our family forward.


We walk in Great Strides to honor Hayes’ journey, to advocate for a cure, and to support lifesaving research for all those living with Cystic Fibrosis. Thank you for standing with Team Hope for Hayes and helping us move closer to a future where CF no longer defines our children’s lives.
