Luke is 13 years old and has cystic fibrosis. His last hospital stay was 22 days and he spends hours a day doing breathing treatments and take 14 different medications daily with the hope that it will help to slow the decline of his lung function. 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 myself & everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life. 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.
