Hi All! I am honored to have been nominated to be part of the Cystic Fibrosis Finest program! The Finest program is for a group of young professionals to network with other professionals and mentors in the Capital Region while also raising money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs.
My involvement in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation started due to my older brother, Kyle being diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at age 3, just 6 weeks after I was born. Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have Cystic Fibrosis and even more are carriers of the Cystic Fibrosis gene, including myself! My parents were terrified with the news of my brother’s diagnosis as the life expectancy then was around his current age of 27.
Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Please help me by donating to this cause to ensure that my brother and others like him go on to live full lives just like you and I. Thank you, with your help CF can soon stand for #curefound
