We walk each year to support our son Jake and the many others fighting Cystic Fibrosis. Jake is 12 years old. He loves to fish , hunt, draw, and play baseball. Things have come a long way and with help from a medicine Jake started at age 3 called Kalydeco , his health has improved significantly!! But what people don’t see , is the chest therapies, meds, and nebulizers that have become Jakes way of daily life. Through it all, Jake always has a great outlook and is one of the happiest kids I know.
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?
