A message from Madison:
I am so thrilled to be selected as an Honoree for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation this year & to represent Arkansas Children’s Hospital! Being approached by the team and starting this fundraising campaign has been nothing short of exciting thus far.
As a pediatric RN and the Nurse educator on the Cystic Fibrosis specialty floor at ACH, every day I have the opportunity to take care of kiddos with CF and love on them and their families during their stays. Because they are often admitted for 2 weeks at a time, I’ve had the privilege of truly getting to know and support them. Being a part of the ACH Cystic Fibrosis Team & attending meetings and presentations has taught me so much and given me such insight to the advancements being made in CF treatment.
In school, we often learned of the symptoms and consequent lifestyle changes CF has on those affected, as well as a considerably lessened life span - most not surviving past childhood. However, I now have the privilege of watching our patients thrive due to new medications which have greatly improved their quality of life and intensely lessened the complications from CF. I get to watch our patients grow up, go to college, get married and have their own kiddos. Due to the impacts of the research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, ACH & UAMS have filled a newfound need in CF care: a transition program from pediatrics to adults!
Can you imagine what advancements we are on the brink of finding? Let’s raise some money for this incredible cause & have a positive impact on the Cystic Fibrosis population in our state & around the world! I know I, with the help of all of you, can truly make a lasting impact on the future of the Cystic Fibrosis Community and their care.
Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation. By supporting my fundraising efforts, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
More information about Cystic Fibrosis:
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Sixty years ago, children with CF usually did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
