When it comes to medical research – no one is more hopeful than the mother of a child with cystic fibrosis.
“One of the best things that we were told right at the beginning was this was the right time to have cystic fibrosis,’’ Bianca said. “This was the absolute time to have it - that so much was being done. The treatments, the research, everything was happening with cystic fibrosis.’’
Bianca’s eight-year-old son Archer is one of the faces of the 2023 Jeans for Genes campaign which raises funds for the vital work being done in the labs at Children’s Medical Research Institute.
Archer was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a newborn baby, thanks to the heel prick test. As he was the youngest of four children with no known health issues, Bianca wasn’t expecting the news.
“He was three weeks old, and a phone call came out of the blue one night when I was home with the four kids,’’ Bianca said. “When I got off the phone, firstly I’m thinking - what did it mean? What was cystic fibrosis? I hadn't encountered anyone with cystic fibrosis in the past. What did it mean for his life? That was the biggest thing.
“Our doctor told us, new drugs will come out, then
the researchers will cure the disease, and then we will have ticked both boxes.
It will happen - it will absolutely happen. I have 100% faith that it will
happen.’’
