I couldn't be prouder of Millie and the way she chooses to live her life, she doesn't let CF get in the way of anything, as you can see!
She also goes through a lot daily that people don't see, to keep herself as healthy as she can (to include percussion and breathing physiotherapy twice a day, multiple nebulisers, about 40-50 pills a day, as well as the many hospital appointments and routine blood tests/ xrays/ ultrasounds/ PFTs/ glucose monitoring/ whatever else she does year after year. And that's not including what happens when she's sick.)
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?
