Friends and Family,
My Family and I fundraising for The Morristown Great Strides Walk on May 3rd, supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
As you may be aware my son Miles was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) when he was 5 weeks old and we have been involved with this charity ever since. Miles is now in 6th grade and enjoys playing all sports and has recently realized the benefits his physical fitness allows him to enjoy. Football, lacrosse, basketball, skiing and swimming are all activities he enjoys and have added to his ability to participate in them at the level he expects of himself.
As a result of being able to participate in as many activities, Miles has taken an active approach in learning how to better condition, strengthen and adjust his workouts through stretching, hydration and pre/post workout preparation.
The determination and strength that Miles approaches each day with is something that never ceases to amaze me. He takes an active role in his health making sure he does his breathing treatments and takes his medications (which takes approximately 2 hours out of each day).
Not that long ago Cystic Fibrosis was considered a childhood disease, but due to the overwhelming efforts of the CF Foundation and everyone involved with the fundraising efforts the life expectancy has almost doubled since 2013.
We are truly so proud of him for doing his part and as parents, Kate and I are trying to support him as best we can and are so hopeful for the future!
So, that being said....Let’s cure cystic fibrosis - now is the time! The symptoms of CF can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues. While progress has been made, we still lose precious lives to CF every day.
Please consider donating in support of Miles. There is no donation too small and it all makes a difference and will help accelerate the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s pursuit of new therapies and provide vital support to meet the needs of those with CF, including Miles!
Donating is easy and secure. Use the link at the bottom of the page to visit my personal fundraising page and follow the prompts to make a donation. Your support matters and we truly appreciate it!
