Hi! We are the Miller Family aka the J Team! Both Jackson (14) and Jacob (12) were diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in early 2013. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and far too many people with CF still die young. I'm walking to help change that reality.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that affects 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. Both our boys also suffer from cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) which further complicates their care.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently - we see this even with our 2 boys. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for everyone fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that those with CF have a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
We formed the J Team in May of 2013. Participating in Great Strides has given our family a way to educate others about Cystic Fibrosis while raising funds to make a difference in the lives of those living with CF. Over the last 12 years, our team has raised over $370,000 to support the mission, and we will continue until CF stands for Cure Found!
YOU have the power to help advance the research and science needed to drive our dream forward. Please consider making a donation and adding tomorrows for those living with Cystic Fibrosis.
