Walk with our team to Cure Cystic Fibrosis
Mason's Marchers
Fundraising for St. Paul Great Strides 2026
Mason's Marchers
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young, Mason's Marchers will be walking to help change that reality. Our team started walking in 2010 when Mason was just 10 months old, this will be our 17th year walking in the St. Paul Great Strides Campaign!
When Mason was born, we learned of his CF diagnosis through the newborn screen. We had just been home hours when the phone call from the pediatrician came in. Before we knew it we were at the University of Minnesota learning how to feed our newborn baby from a spoon, in order to provide him with the pancreatic enzymes his little body desperately needed to digest fat and protein. We also came home with a new "sleep" schedule of waking every two hours to feed him, in order to make sure he gained weight. We learned that the days ahead would be filled with more treatments, meds and appointments. Suddenly we had more than just the weight of being the parents of a newborn on our shoulders.
Today we are proud to say that even though life can be really tough and things don't always go like we plan, Mason is thriving in spite of CF! We truly believe it is because we do our part in managing the shuffle of meds, treatments, appointments, insurance battles, the research and of course the fundraising and we mix it in with everyday life.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. There is no cure. Mason's health can't be taken for granted. Over time 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.
Thank you,
