Our 12-year-old son Kyler lives with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a rare genetic disease that mainly affects the lungs. CF causes thick, sticky mucus that makes it hard to breathe and leads to frequent lung infections.

Kyler?s CF mostly affects his lungs. He doesn?t have the GI issues that many people with CF face, which we are thankful for, but CF is still a daily battle for him and for our family.

Our everyday life includes breathing treatments, airway clearance therapy, medications, and constant monitoring of his health. Even on the days he looks perfectly fine, CF is still something he is fighting behind the scenes.

About once a year we are hospitalized for lung infections, and those stays can be long and exhausting. When that happens, everything in our lives pauses ? school, work, routines ? and our focus becomes helping Kyler recover and get strong again.

Cystic Fibrosis doesn?t just affect the person diagnosed. It affects the entire family. There are emotional challenges, constant worry, navigating medical care, and balancing everyday life with treatments and hospital visits.

But through it all, Kyler continues to show incredible strength. He pushes through treatments, stays positive, and reminds us every day what true bravery looks like.

We are sharing our story to help raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis and to support Kyler?s journey. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement means the world to our family.

Thank you for supporting Kyler and helping us continue this fight.
