I walk for my son, Matteo, and for every person living with Cystic Fibrosis.

Matteo was diagnosed with CF shortly after birth, and since then, our family has learned just how much courage, strength, and resilience can fit inside one little boy. His days include medications, enzymes, breathing treatments, airway clearance, appointments, labs, and routines most people never see.

We are incredibly grateful that Matteo has one of the most researched CF mutations, which means there are treatment options and ongoing advancements available to him. But we also know there are children, teens, and adults with CF who do not have the same opportunities yet. Their mutations may not have as many treatments, and their families are still waiting for more answers, more research, and more hope.

That is why I walk.

I walk for Matteo's unlimited future, but I also walk for everyone with CF who deserves the chance to live a long, healthy, and full life. Every step and every donation helps support research, better treatments, and the continued hope for a cure.
