Baker Boys' Battalion

Baker Boys' Battalion The BBB was created in 2002 after Gavin Baker, age 2 1/2 and his unborn brother, Jake, were both diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.

CF is a fatal genetic disease, but you can change that. Donate now: http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/bakerboysbattalion Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:

clogs

the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and
obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
