I am Valerie Pettit, a 31 year old patient with cystic fibrosis. I was diagnosed at 8 days old on December 25, 1991 (Merry Christmas Mom & Dad)! I am with my partner of 10 years, Travis. On November 13, 2019, I started trikafta. As far as education goes, I received my Bachelor degree in Business Administration in 2014. In March of 2021, I started helping care for a family friend with Alzheimers. I did that up until I gave birth to my son, Hudson Helms on July 14, 2023. We also have 3 dogs, Lucy, Cora, and Mama Mable, who are like our children too! My current hobbies include caring for our son and dogs, mowing the yard, and keeping up with the Atlanta Braves.
