There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF still face shortened lives and daily challenges. We are walking to help change that reality for our two children, Kayli and Kallan, and for every family affected by this disease.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that impacts the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It can make breathing difficult, lead to serious infections, and requires constant treatments and care. Every person with CF has a unique journey, and no two experiences are the same.

We are incredibly grateful for the research and medical breakthroughs that have already changed so many lives. Because of advancements in treatment, Kayli and Kallan have been able to stay healthier, stay out of the hospital, and enjoy more of the childhood every child deserves. Those moments are priceless, and they are only possible because of the progress made through research.

But there is still more work to do. Our children have rare CF mutations, which means continued research is especially important to help find better treatments and ultimately a cure that includes them and others with rare mutations. Every child with CF deserves the chance to live a long, healthy life as close to normal as possible.

Will you help us continue the fight?
