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.
 
Owen’s journey is no different. Sort of. Because of all the support, research, and developments in medical advancements, thankfully Owen’s “story” has been a relatively smooth one. We have been very thankful and appreciative to everyone who has been on this journey with us. And if you’re new to the team, welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.
 
This summer Owen will celebrate his 18th birthday. He remains very active in lacrosse and soccer, his interest and pursuit of cars continues to grow, was recently accepted to the welding program at the CTC for next school year, and has plans to attend Thaddeus Stevens after graduation.

As we have for the past 15 years, our family is committed to walking at Great Strides Lancaster to raise funds and awareness for CF. We hope you can join us! Please use the link to join our team or make a donation to support a truly life changing organization!
 
If you are interested in learning more and seeing such an inspiring story, here is a link to “Second Wind.” It is Gunner Esiason’s story, and I highly recommend it. Keep the box of tissues nearby.
