This year has been crazy for our family. Riley spent 7 weeks in the hospital last year. This year he's been in for 2 weeks so far. He has developed CF related Asthma and Sleep Apnea. He is on the newest cell modulator Alyftrek but might not be able to stay on it due to side effects. (we are still evaluating and monitoring)
We will be at the San Diego walk at Liberty Station on Saturday June 7th to raise awareness about CF and money to help find a cure...for ALL mutations and those who can't take the current modulators due to side effects. Please join us in this fight! Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!

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.
