Rylee Watkins
As some of you may know, Our journey began in May of 2023 when Devon and I welcomed our beautiful baby girl Rylee into this world. Little did we know that in less than a month after she made her debut our lives would change so drastically. One day before Rylee turned a month old she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Shortly thereafter, Devon and I began to see first hand just how physically, mentally, and financially costly this disease can be. Through months of recurring medications, treatments, tests, and traveling to Jacksonville for doctor’s appointments with her specialists Rylee has taken it all like a champ. Now at 2 years old and with years of research for Cystic fibrosis Rylee has finally been accepted to take Trikafta! She has inspired Devon and I so much that we want to do more to raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis and support future research to hopefully find a cure one day!

Here is some information on Cystic Fibrosis.
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?
