πBecause my grandson,
Lincoln, now 4 y/o has Cystic fibrosis (CF), I want to bring awareness to this awful disease. Cystic
fibrosis (CF) is a condition passed down in families that causes damage to the
lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body. CF affects the cells that
make mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These fluids, also called secretions,
are usually thin and slippery to protect the body's internal tubes and ducts
and make them smooth pathways. But in people with CF, a changed gene causes the
secretions to become sticky and thick. The secretions plug up pathways,
especially in the lungs and pancreas. CF gets worse over time and needs daily
care. Most people diagnosed with CF never live past their 50βs. Itβs sad that
Lincoln was born with an expiration date, a direct quote from his loving
mother, so young and brave. I donate as much as I can to CF research and hope
more are inspired to do so as well. Thank you for thinking of Lincoln. We would
appreciate you keeping Lincoln and his family in your thoughts and prayers. ππ» ππ» ππ»
