At that moment, 5 years of unexplained symptoms had a “logical” explanation and a name that would come to mean a life for Dayne filled with daily medical treatments, non-stop doctor’s appointments and frightening hospitalizations.  As his parents, every increasingly labored breath Dayne takes weighs doubly heavy on our hearts.  Even in the healthiest of times Dayne spends hours dealing with his disease everyday.  There is a complete sense of uneasiness knowing that Dayne’s health can turn at a moment’s notice.

 We are committed to keeping Dayne healthy and living as normal a life as possible while waiting in hope that when devoted researchers discover the cure for CF Dayne’s future will be seamless.  Time is of the essence.  Successful medical advancements have extended the average life expectancy of a CF patient to a statistical 37 years, but there are still far too many young people who lose their battle to this progressively fatal disease as early as in their teen years.

In these difficult economic times, we can NOT be discouraged by negative, but must continue to build hope for those who cannot wait.  Cystic fibrosis does not know good times from bad and because the CF research gets zero government funding, private contributions are vital.

 With your support, Dayne’s future and thousands of others with CF can be hopeful and unlimited.  I acknowledge that there is much to be done in this world, however, I humbly ask you to join me in this fight and to consider making CF your cause.  It truly is a race against time.

With hope,
