Cystic Fibrosis Utah Great Strides Walk – This Saturday, May 17!

This is a guest post from Rick Davis, Chair of the Utah-Idaho Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Wow, has the past year screamed by! It’s well past due for my annual update of progress being made in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis and again invite your participation in the 2014 fundraising campaign. My afflicted grandchildren, Clare and Elliot, are both now 6½ years old, and continue to grow while responding positively to their therapies and medicines. Both receive nightly nutritional supplements through a tube surgically implanted directly into the stomach. Although initially quite uncomfortable, the extra g-tube feeding has brought prayed-for successes as Clare is growing stronger at a better rate, and Elliot has gained enough weight to support his extremely active lifestyle. Clare’s parents (Chrysi and Rick Davis) and Elliot’s’ parents (Alta and Mike Hales) continue to be models of diligence and patience in providing all of the physical, emotional and spiritual support that these precious children require every day. Their efforts are inspirational to many, specifically in the Salt Lake and Atlanta communities, but even more generally throughout the CFF communities nation-wide.
