Hello there, its time to once again gear up to Walk for a Cure. Now is more important than ever to continue our fight to cure CF.

Our Laynee is currently finishing up her last year of college to begin her career in surgical tech. Laynee has recently been able to get approved for the latest triple action modulator named Alyftrek. This is a once a day medicine that helps replace several of the medicines she took when younger and these modulators were not available. Despite these breakthroughs our Laynee continues to have serious health issues including lung infections and bowel obstructions.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates 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.  

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.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
