My Great Strides Story

Hi Friends and Family,
Parker's Platoon is back for our 13th year of raising money for Cystic Fibrosis, CF. As most of you know, our son Parker was diagnosed at birth with Cystic Fibrosis. Everyday our family and many families wake up hoping for a cure for this life shortening disease. The fact is there has been amazing progress in medicine allowing several with CF to live longer fuller lives, but that is only for some, not all. There are just over 30,000 people living with Cystic Fibrosis in the United States, more than 700 living in Indiana. We fight every day for a cure and we need your help to get it done!
It is hard to believe that Parker is now 13 years old, he is taller than me and he is changing every day, but what hasn't changed is Cystic Fibrosis. Every day Parker still has to take 18+ pills just to digest what he eats, take vitamins and takes his medicine, Kalydeco. Parker doesn't have to take all of these meds because he is sick, these are the protocols of a healthy person with CF. If someone with CF gets sick, a lot of these medications triple including IV’s, vest therapies are a must and may include being confined to a hospital bed. Here’s how you can help! Donate now and/or walk with us in support of Parker and all with CF.
This year we invite you to walk with us for our annual Great Strides Walk. We will be walking again at the beautiful Victory Field in Indianapolis! The walk will be held on May 3rd. Will you join us this year?
Will you consider making a donation and/or walking with us on May 3rd? If so, you can click on the link below.
Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible! If you plan to walk with us, please register as a walker.
