Hi supporters and friends! Year 17… SEVENTEEN of my family raising money for Great Strides and Cystic Fibrosis. It’s crazy to think we’ve been doing this for nearly two decades! That means that not only are we all a lot older, but that our girl Madi is almost an adult! 

About Madi- She’s thriving in high school, and very excited to be a senior next year! She is involved in a lot of activities as a Junior that keep her very busy. She joined color guard last year for marching band and loves it. She played a major role in the winter musical White Christmas (her aunts and relatives all dropped their jaws when she belted out that first song), and has continued to sing in the church choir and play bells along side her mom, Amy. She is also a part of the ski club, One Act play, and a Link crew member- a leadership program to help guide and mentor kids that are just getting into high school. 

Madi’s passion for animals continues. She is working at Puptown in Medina, and she shares pictures of her favorite dogs all the time. Her college plans will definitely involve animals!

She is healthy and happy, and a lot of it is because she has received so much support from this community since she was born. Everyone that has donated, past and present, provided her with access to medicines and treatments needed to live a normal life. The CF Foundation has worked tirelessly to give people with CF a chance to live a long and healthy life. We thank you for your continued support!
