💙 PLEASE HELP US FIGHT FOR BRENDON 💙
Many of you know that my son Brendon was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was just 3 years old. Since then, he has been fighting a battle every single day that most people never see.
This year has been especially difficult. Brendon has battled multiple infections, and the medications he needs for Lupus make things even harder. But if there is one thing I know about my son, it is that he is a fighter.
The good news is that because of amazing medical breakthroughs like Trikafta — and the support from all of you — Brendon has come incredibly far. Research has already added years to his life. But Cystic Fibrosis is relentless.
It affects every day… every meal… every breath.
Unfortunately, CF has already caused damage to his lungs, and we continue fighting for a cure that will save his life and the lives of so many others.
💙 Our Cystic Fibrosis Walk is Sunday May 17th at Holtsville Ecology Center.
If you can help in any way, it would mean the world to us:
• Make a donation
• Walk with our team
• Share this post
• Say a prayer for Brendon and the CF community
Over 90% of the money raised goes directly to research. There is ZERO federal funding for Cystic Fibrosis. Every breakthrough that helps kids like Brendon happens because families and supporters refuse to give up.

Every year I ask for your help, and every year you show up for us. I cannot begin to express how much that love and support means to our family. We truly could not do this without you. 💙
