The Fighting Fish began as a group of family and friends fighting Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in honor of Colin and Katelyn Fish. Colin is 8yrs old and was diagnosed with CF at six months old. Katelyn is 6yrs old and was diagnosed at birth. 

In May 2009, a team was formed to walk in GREAT STRIDES - the largest national fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In the last 8 years, team Fighting Fish has raised over $80,775 for CF research.

CF is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestion. A salt imbalance creates extra sticky mucus that collects bacteria, causes chronic cough and at times, makes it difficult to breathe. Every day, the kids spend about one hour doing breathing treatments and chest physical therapy, as well as swallowing over 20 pills each to aid digestion of fats and absorption of nutrients.

We hope you'll join us in 2016 as we raise more funding and rally support to FIGHT CYSTIC FIBROSIS! 
Over the years, these videos were created to share what life with Cystic Fibrosis is like for Colin and Katelyn. 
These amazing kids are the #1 reason we fight CF! 
They deserve a chance to live a long, healthy life! One way we fight is through 
fundraising... so that Colin and Katelyn can continue receiving the best care possible.
​
We fight so that someday... CF will stand for CURE FOUND!

TOGETHER... WE ARE THE FIGHTING FISH!

"We never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever."
