Camilla Carollo | Team Carollo
Camilla was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 10 days old. She is now 3 ½ years old, and she’s as sassy as she is strong. Camilla lives with her mom, Kate, dad, Vince, and twin brother, Nino, in the Kansas City area. Camilla and her family are grateful to have Vince’s cousin, Sarah, in their corner. Sarah has been an advocate for CF for as long as they can remember, dedicating herself to advancing treatments by participating in case studies and testing new drugs that could change lives. Just like Sarah, Camilla doesn’t let CF stop her. When asked what she wished people knew about what it is like to have cystic fibrosis, Camilla said, “It’s really hard to do it, but I’m brave and strong, like this!” (Cue dramatic arm flex).Step Up Your Fundraising
