I'm walking to help change the reality that there is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, a genetic, life-shortening disease that tragically impacts too many lives, leading to premature death. This fight is deeply personal for me because our precious daughter, Amelia, was diagnosed with CF when she was just 5 weeks old. She is now almost two years old, and every day we navigate the challenges this disease brings.
 

CF devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes it incredibly difficult to breathe and fight off life-threatening infections, often resulting in significant lung damage and respiratory failure. Seeing Amelia, with her bright spirit and infectious giggle, face these daily struggles fuels my determination to find a cure.
 

Every individual born with cystic fibrosis, like our Amelia, embarks on a unique and challenging journey with this disease. While remarkable progress has been made in CF research, a long and vital road still lies ahead for countless people fighting this terrible illness, including our little girl. We desperately need a cure so that Amelia and everyone living with CF can have a real chance at a long, healthy life.
 

Will you join us in the fight to end cystic fibrosis?
 

By contributing to my fundraising goal, you will directly empower the critical research and scientific advancements needed to propel our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF, so that children like Amelia can look forward to a future filled with health and happiness.
