Our 4 year old Henry (also known as Boomer) was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was 2 weeks old. It's been a wild ride during these last four years, but we are so lucky for all his continued health that have allowed him live a life full of adventure so far! Henry loves to play soccer, ride his bike, play with Legos, read, dance, and sing songs. But, Henry needs a little extra support to help keep him healthy, and we are so grateful for the medical advancements just in the past four years that help him live his life to the fullest!

A little about Cystic Fibrosis: Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs.

Each and every day there is new research taking place so that one day there can be a cure for CF, all due to donations! Please consider helping kids like Henry grow up in a world where one day CF can stand for Cure Found!


Some notes about CF from the CF Foundation:

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.

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.
