My Great Strides Story

Dear Friends and Family,
As most of you know, our daughter Lauren has cystic fibrosis. Each morning, she straps on her vest and hooks up to her treatment machine. While air compressions pound her chest and back for 30 minutes, she inhales 2 different medications through a nebulizer. Lauren also takes about 20 pills over the course of the day to aid in digestion and repeats a 30-minute vest routine with nebulized medicines again each evening. During cold/flu season there is sometimes a need for 3 daily vest sessions to help clear mucus from her lungs. Clinic visits are scheduled every 4 months to monitor lung function, overall health, adjust enzyme dosage and talk about any concerns. Labs and chest x-rays are scheduled once a year to help with an overall treatment plan. Nebulizers are cleaned and sterilized at the end of each day, with new nebulizers ordered every 6 months. This is the normal routine for all who live with cystic fibrosis.
On May 2nd we will participate in Great Strides Augusta, a walk benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. As the name implies, great strides have been made in diagnosing and treating CF. However, there is still no cure.
Our team goal is $5,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation by May 2nd. Would you consider helping us this year? You can sign up to walk and/or donate with team Bailey’s Bulldogs using the link below. All donations are tax-deductible and support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Thank you for your support in this great cause. Over the last 12 years, “Bailey’s Bulldogs” has contributed nearly $100,000 to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We walk to give Lauren and all those living with CF the best chance at living a long, healthy life.
With deep appreciation,
Steven and Robyn Bailey
