There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF still die young. I'm walking to help change that reality.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that can devastate the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It can make it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.

This is personal for my family. My 2-year-old granddaughter, Penelope, was born with CF. We've seen really encouraging results since she started Trikafta this past January-an important treatment made possible in part because the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation helped fund the research and development behind it. But Trikafta isn't a cure, and not everyone with CF qualifies for it.

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey. While progress has been made, a long road still lies ahead for far too many people. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a real chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating toward my fundraising goal, you can help advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward-a cure for everyone with CF.
