As you are probably aware, my daughter Rosie was born with cystic fibrosis. She is now 27 and doing quite well. Thanks to life-changing medications and therapies, life expectancy for people with cf has greatly increased. But there is no cure and living with cf is not easy......Rosie needs a cure. And that is why I will continue to walk until we find a cure.

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.
