CF Fighter







This is my nephew. He will turn 5 years old this summer and is a Superhero. He battles a disease called Cystic Fibrosis. It is a serious, genetic condition that simply put affects his breathing and digestion. I have written about him before here and here and here is an article that was published in our local paper . Here you can watch a video where my sister demonstrates one of the physical therapies for parents and caregivers of CF patients. And another video here of his new vest, his Spacesuit, that makes his physical therapy faster and more effective.

One day there will be a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, with the research and support that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation contributes. Each year that find better medicines and treatments. They are able to do this because of the donations that people like you and me give.

If you can spare $1 or $5 or $30 or $100 please give to this great cause. Donating online is easy and safe. Let's help Keenan fight this battle.

To donate to Keenan's Team for the Charlottesville, VA Great Strides walk go here.
