Hi! My name is Hannah, and I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of only 4 months old.
Every day I struggle to do something that may seem so simple to others.... Breathe. Like me, thousands of people all over the world are diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a lung disease that thickens the mucus in your lungs, making every breath a challenge and slowly shutting down your lungs completely. Doctors appointments, hospital stays and procedures are a regular part of life for those living with this illness.The average life expectancy for people living with Cystic Fibrosis right now is 40 years old. I am currently 19 y/o and there is still no cure for this illness. We have made great progress in research towards Cystic Fibrosis. But the fact of the matter is, I am still living with a lung disease and we are still searching for a cure.
~ PLEASE HELP SPREAD AWARENESS ~
I will be walking in the largest national fundraising event for Cystic Fibrosis this Saturday, June 4th. My goal is to raise money for research and medicine so that one day all my fellow CFers out there and I can #BreatheEasy
I will put the link to the fundraising page here http://fightcf.cff.org/site/PageServer?pagename=gs_homepage
If you cannot donate, it would mean so much to me if you could simply share this link and help spread awareness. Every little bit helps. Thank you ~ Hannah
