Ella is a vibrant, 16-year-old who loves volleyball and spending time in the kitchen with her grandma baking their favorite family recipes. While Ella appears healthy on the outside, she battles daily with the restrictions that cystic fibrosis places on her. Just to stay healthy, Ella does 80 minutes of nebulizer treatments daily, takes 4 inhaled meds, and swallows 45 pills before eating to help aid in digestion.
While Ella's health has seen improvements since starting Trikafta® two years ago, the disease still infiltrates her daily life. Nancy and Lou Stremick dream of the day that “Ella’s life no longer has to revolve around treatments and meds.”
There is no better time to give than today. Your gift will be doubled to help advance research, care, and community programs for all people living with cystic fibrosis. Please help us reach our ultimate goal: a cure for CF.
