A group of us will be walking for Team Hudson at Marshfield Great Strides on May 2nd. Team Hudson’s fundraising goal is $3,500 and we are just over $2000 of that goal.

Here’s our story: When we welcomed our grandson Hudson, everything felt perfect. He looked like a healthy, thriving newborn.

Just a couple of weeks after his birth we learned that Hudson’s newborn screening came back positive for cystic fibrosis. This came as a shock as his parents had no idea they were carriers and there was no family history of cf on either side.

At just two weeks old, they met his care team at Marshfield and confirmed the diagnosis through a sweat test. That same day, Hudson began pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. Since then, their days have included regular appointments, weight checks, and learning how to care for a child with CF.

Hudson is strong, growing, and full of life—he just needs a little extra support along the way.

We are fundraising and walking with Great Strides to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the groundbreaking research they fund every day. Their work gives families like ours hope—hope that one day Hudson won’t have to rely on daily medications, treatments, and constant monitoring. Hope for a cure.

Right now, there is still no cure for cystic fibrosis. It is a life-shortening genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs, making it difficult to breathe and fight infections. Too many people with CF still face shortened lives.

Every person with CF has a unique journey, and while treatments have come a long way, there is still more to be done. We are walking to help change what this disease looks like for our grandson and for every family impacted by CF.

By supporting our fundraiser, you are helping advance critical research and move us closer to a cure—for Hudson, and for everyone living with CF.
Thank you for your support. ❤️
