Weston has been living with Cystic Fibrosis for 19 years. However, because of the development of life changing medications, CF has not been running his life these past few years. There came a moment at a recent CF clinic in which I was overcome by the emotion that he is living a life I never thought would be possible for him. One that doesn’t include daily life centered around a disease. He works full time (over time actually) without struggling to breathe or exhausting himself like it used to. I am so grateful for the CF Foundation for these miraculous life changing medications that have changed his course in life. In all honesty, I want to take a full break from CF and that includes fundraising and walking. However, how can I turn my back when others aren’t so lucky as my son. How can I stop now when we haven’t found a cure? There is still a need. Until it’s done.

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.
