I will soon be walking in Great Strides Atlanta 2025! Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation of any amount. Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively to help support vital CF research, medical, and educational programs. 

My 12 year old daughter Betsy was diagnosed with CF in utero in 2012. From that moment forward, I have made it my personal mission to help eradicate this disease. It truly is an amazing time to help the CF Foundation, since we are so close to a cure!! New medications have recently been released for a percentage of the CF population, to help slow the progression of CF, and often eliminate symptoms, thus extending the lifespan of thousands of people. But we cannot stop there. A cure has not yet been found and people continue to lose their lives to this disease.

We were told Betsy would be born with a relatively "mild" form of CF. However, "mild" for Betsy meant four sinus surgeries, two 14 day hospital admissions, an hour of breathing treatments and percussive therapy every day, and a growing list of daily medications that she must be prepared to take for the rest of her life. She is 12 years old!! Betsy is a fighter, to say the least. When Betsy was in the hospital and prescribed an expensive, but truly beneficial CF specific medication, the CF Foundation was there for my family, offering guidance and direction, but most of all hope.
