As a mother, there is no greater love than the one I have for my child. But when you have a child with Cystic Fibrosis, that love is accompanied by a deep sense of responsibility and determination. Every day brings its own set of challenges — from breathing treatments to hospital visits, to worrying about the future and wondering when a cure will finally come.
 

The hardest part is watching my child fight a battle they didn’t ask for. Seeing them struggle to catch their breath or endure treatments that make them feel unwell, yet they continue to smile through it all, is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Cystic Fibrosis is not just a diagnosis; it’s a constant presence in our lives. But despite the challenges, there’s an undeniable strength that arises from this journey. It’s the strength of a mother’s love, the resilience of a child, and the unwavering hope that drives us forward.
 

This is why fundraising for research and finding a cure is so important to me. I know that every dollar raised brings us one step closer to a world where children like mine don’t have to fight just to breathe. It gives hope to families like ours — families who dream of a future free from the limitations and pain of Cystic Fibrosis.
 

I walk not just for my child, but for every child with CF, for every mother, father, and family who is living in this reality. We fundraise not because we have to, but because we are determined — determined to make a difference, determined to give our children the future they deserve, and determined to ensure that no family has to face this alone.
 

I walk with hope in my heart and a fierce dedication to fighting for a cure. Together, we can make a difference. One step at a time. One day at a time. One breath at a time.
