Raising money for Cystic Fibrosis (1 more day)


Recommended Posts

That time again.  Just got my CF walk information for the Cleveland Zoo on 5/16 and figured it would be a great time to make another thread.  Below is a photo from last years walk and a couple others

hey guys,
my girls have a genetic abnormality called CFTR related
metabolic syndrome. They don't have cystic fibrosis, but could have
problems and develop a milder form of it it in the future. I'm raising
money to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis

I'm a CF carrier
and gave the gene to my girls. My wife has a tiny typo on her gene that
when paired with mine can POSSIBLY cause atypical CF (much milder
symptoms of CF or symptoms at an older age) - lung problems/infections,
sinus problems, and pancreas problems and trouble gaining weight due to
stickier than normal mucus in their bodies. They have borderline
elevated higher levels of salt in their sweat, but not high enough to be
considered cystic fibrosis. The girls are monitored by a CF specialist
every 3 months, but so far are doing fantastic. They are happy, healthy,
growing, and thriving.
