The 3 little cuties in the picture above are Lucia & Palmer Santichen and Ehva Arendas.

My husband, Karl and I, are lucky enough to be the proud grandparents of Lucia & Palmer! They are rambunctious little 5 year old identical twins with one of the rarest forms of CF. Upon birth, they were life-flighted to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP), a two hour drive from home, where they spent their first 104 days in the NICU. They endured several surgeries and had a few close calls. The girls are underweight but currently doing well. They each take 7 pills before every meal and 4 before a snack. This medication isn’t a cure or even therapeutic. It simply allows them to absorb nutrients needed to survive. They also spend 30 minutes 3 times a day completing rigorous airway clearance via a vest and compressor in addition to 2 medications in a nebulizer. Every two months, Mom, Dad and the girls travel to CHP where Palmer and Lucia meet their CF team of doctors to maintain their health.  In 2025, Palmer was lucky enough to escape the typically annual 14-day "tune-up" hospital visit! Lucia was not so lucky. On January 1, 2025, Lucia was taken by ambulance to CHP where a portion of her right lung was removed due to bronchiectasis damage. She ran into complications and ended up spending 9 days in the PICU and 7 days in a regular room. It was a month long recovery and she is thriving now.

In America, approximately 40,000 children and adults have CF. Three thousand of them have rare variants that do not respond to the therapeutic medications that are currently available. Of this 3,000, only 10 others have the same variant as Lucia and Palmer. Money for research, medication, clinical trials and a cure is needed for the 3,000 individuals with rare variants, as well as for all people with cystic fibrosis.

Our fundraising efforts have amounted to over $11,000 in 2023, over $21,000 in 2024 and over $45,000 in 2025, all with the help of two matching partners and other various corporate donations. This year, we hope to raise a total of $50,000 with the help of our matching partners and other various corporate donations.

Your participation in this fun and "EGG-citing" event is most appreciated. Please share our site with your neighbors and local businesses!!

We won’t stop until CF stands for "Cure Found”!
