The BE Team
The BE team- Inspired by Bridger and Emery
Bridger was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was almost two months old. Since his diagnosis Bridger's health journey has had its ups and downs. He has had to overcome many things but through it all he has been resilient and brave. He is now 7 years old and is in the first grade. He loves going to school but says recess is his favorite subject! He likes to take his soccer ball or football to school and play with his friends. He has always been pretty shy but just recently he has started to share more about himself and show friends and family just how much fun he is!
When Emery was born she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis just shortly after. Emery is now almost four years old but she’ll probably tell you that she is sixteen! Between all the treatments, medications, being in the hospital, doctor appointments, lab draws, X-rays, this little girl doesn’t let that stop her from living life at full speed! She is always on the go! Some of her favorite things to do as of lately is sing, dance, color, and play Barbies and dress up. She is busy and sassy but she’s also very sweet. She will always say I love you and wants to give everyone hugs ❤️
Our everyday there is always sinus rinses, treatments, medications, nebulizing, gtube feeds, packing extra calories in, getting extra treatments in when needed, doctor appointments, phones calls to doctors and pharmacies and to insurance. There isn’t a day that goes by without being reminded how Cystic Fibrosis affects our little family. This is why we fight and stride for them and the many others that fight this disease everyday. We won’t give up until there is a cure!
Although our family will not be able to participate in person at the walk this year we would love for anyone to take part in Great Strides and join our team. We promise, you belong here! If you would like to walk with us virtually this year or even donate we appreciate any support. Donations for this event can be made all year long. By participating you can help advance the care and research needed to cure Cystic Fibrosis.
While the CF Foundation has made incredible progress, not everyone with CF can benefit from existing therapies and we still need a cure. This will require time, funding, and persistence – but with you on our team – we are ready to go the distance.
Our team is committed to providing every person with CF the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Will you join us?
