I have battled cystic fibrosis my entire life, and seen so many like me struggling each day to stay one step ahead of the disease.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently.
While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people. A cure is needed now so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF. I want to thank you all for your support and commitment. Big hugs and love
