Hi! I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when I was 2 months old. CF is a chronic illness that effects the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive system. It makes breathing difficult by blocking airways with mucus and causes issues with digesting and absorbing nutrients. I grew up going to the hospital every other year then every year 1-3 times. Since starting on a miracle medicine in 2020, I have only been once since then! 

I have been married for over 5 years and last year welcomed our first baby into the family! After she was born we found out our little Ayla has CF just like me. Now my biggest goal is to help make it possible that Ayla will be healthy enough she won’t experience as many hospital stays as I did. 

In team Elwoods and Company, we stride to thrive!
