Thank you all enough. And as I type, this years CF fundraiser has greatly surpassed any of our expectations. WOW!!! We are humbled, to say the least.
Event Sponsor – Cystic Fibrosis Foundation –Sunday Sept. 18th – Oakledge Park, Burlington

“Our sweet children, Eden and Otis, were both diagnosed with CF just after birth. To say our lives were crushed and turned upside down is an understatement! We learned quickly how intensive care can be for them each and everyday. This disease takes zero breaks and neither can we! We are so grateful for where science has come over these decades. We have so much to be hopeful for and every year that passes is another year closer to a cure!!!”, shared by mom, Cheryl.
