Great Strides 2013






The Springfield Great Strides Walk will be held this year on October 5th at Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park.  If you can't make it to the Kickoff, but would like to register for the walk, please go to www.cff/org/great_strides/katiecarroll.  Even if you have signed up in years past, please do so again so we'll know who we can expect to be joining us.  

Please remember that for the walk this year we are wearing last year's Kadyn's Krew t-shirts.  If you don't have last year's shirt, please email us your size at kadynskrew@gmail.com and we will have a shirt waiting for you at the walk.  

Thank you for being a part of Kadyn's Krew and for caring enough to stand beside us, to walk with us, and to help us fight this fight for Kadyn and all those who struggle with CF.  We hope to see you at the Great Strides Walk on October 5th!

August Update




Kadyn had CF Clinic last Wednesday and it went well. However, on Friday she began coughing and has been very tired. We got the call today that she is culturing a new bacteria called Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. We don't know much about it, but we've upped treatments and started oral antibiotics. Now, we pray they do the trick. Our hearts are heavy and we so wish Kadyn could catch a break. This picture was taken today. As you can see Kadyn is still smiling...so we are taking her lead (as usual). Things will get better!
