Hi, my husband, Dean, has cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. Please help him to stay as healthy as possible for his beautiful little girl, Mia, by attending or donating to the Great Strides walk! 

Dean just turned 52 in January and feels so fortunate to have so many bonus years past the life expectancy of 18 back when he was born. He's feeling as healthy as ever due to Trikafta, an incredible drug that he started taking around 8 years ago. It's a not a cure - he still has to take around 15 pills each day and do therapies but it's pretty darn close. 

Trikafta only affects 90 percent of the CF population and not all can tolerate it so we are asking you again for a donation or to walk with us to help others with CF who are desperately in need of a miracle drug like Trikafta to breathe easier. Your donations will also help to find new and even better drugs for me and the 30,000 children and adults with CF.

The walk will be on Thursday, May 14 (registration at 5:30; walk at 6 pm) at the Baltimore Zoo! Can't wait to walk with everyone and maybe see an animal or two! :)

Whatever you can give is much appreciated! As always, thanks so much for your support!!
