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.
 

At the heart of this team are Brittany McDonald, age 33 and diagnosed later in life, and JT Ellis, age 5, diagnosed at birth. While our journeys with cystic fibrosis may look different, they are united by the same hope and determination—to find a cure. Together, from two different families in the same community, we are walking side by side for a future where no one has to live with CF.

CPT vest therapy, nebulizers, enzymes, and SO many medications. This is normal life for JT! This is what goes on behind the scenes to let him live his life to the fullest.

JT is an active 5 year old little boy. He lets nothing hold him back. From the outside he looks like any normal kid, but what you don't see is the hours of treatments and so many medications that keep him that way!
