There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.
My Personal Connection:
CF had a personal impact on my family tree when I was still in grade school I learned from my Parents and Aunts about a second cousin who lived out of state and would keep the family updated on her 2 children inflicted by CF and the struggle which was more difficult in the 90's than today.
Fast forward a decade or so I joined the IST family, and it was great for me to find out that they were already spreading awareness and raising funds for the disease that impacted my family years prior and a disease that all too often escapes the headlines (not surprised if you are learning about CF for the first time while reading this message)
Some background on the disease:
CF 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 fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure 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.
When I say every donation large or small can make an impact.
Thank you for taking time to read and consider donating.
Our walk for New York City is on Wednesday Evening June 4th all fundraisers and doners welcome, and it is more than a walk, we have a DJ, good food and encourage everyone to have fun when making a difference in a complete stranger's life!
