Kaite Rose Broadhurst

Katie Rose is a former TV and radio host turned MOM(!!) thanks to Trikafta! She currently lives in her hometown with her fiance, Sam, and 8 month old son, Hendrick!
Her wildest dreams came true in the past decade, playing in roles such as Radio host, TV Host and now Mother. And it's all because Trikafta turned her health around at a critical time in her life; allowing her to continue to follow her career path, find love and start her family!
 
She always thought having kids would be close to out of the question. In 2020, she found her person, Sam, and, ready to start their life together, they were mentally prepared for any path that brought them to parenthood.
 
Sam has been an immense support in maintaining Katie Rose's health. In October of 2022, he started sending daily reminder texts for her to take her Trikafta. By December they found out they were expecting!

Kaite Rose spent the entire next year taking in every day, every change and every deep breath as a gift. Previous to Trikafta, pregnancy was an extremely dangerous time for mothers with Cystic Fibrosis. With the introduction of Trikfta, pregnancies in mothers with Cystic Fibrosis DOUBLED! Kaite Rose's lung function even IMPROVED during pregnancy!  Because of Trikafta, Kaite Rose was thriving! She gave birth to Hendrick James on Aug 17, 2023. She was absolutely certain her son would be an adorable little gremlin! But when she saw his face she couldn't believe just how beautiful her little alien was.

"Is this real life?" Is a constant thought for her.  When motherhood is hard, when it's joyful, when it's overwhelming and beautiful, not a moment goes by that she doesn't thank the donors, researchers, doctors, social workers, parents, family and friends of those with Cystic Fibrosis for making today possible.
 
She hopes to get back on air soon, but for now she is loving every belly laugh, stinky diaper, chunky thigh squeeze and midnight wake ups in her new life!
 
She is also dedicated to continuing the research development outreach and support for her Cysters and Fibros who are not eligible for Trikfta. We're not done and we won't quit until CF stands for Cure Found!
