Walking for My Sister | Cystic Fibrosis Awareness
Cystic Fibrosis isn't just a diagnosis in our family-it's something my sister battled every single day of her life. It's hospital visits, treatments, medications, and challenges that most people never see... but she keeps showing up with strength, resilience, and a spirit that inspires me more than she'll ever know.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, digestive system and more. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up, leading to severe breathing problems and infections.
About 40,000 people in the U.S. live with CF
The median life expectancy is now around 50 years, but there is still no cure
People with CF spend hours every day on treatments just to breathe and function
On May 2, I'll be walking in memory of my sister-walking for her fight, her strength, and for a future where no family has to go through this.
I'm asking for your support. Whether it's a donation, a share, or simply keeping my sister and others battling CF in your prayers-it all makes a difference. Every dollar helps fund research, treatments, and ultimately a cure.
Let's turn awareness into action.
Let's fight for a cure.
Let's walk for those who can't.
Thank you for being part of this fight-it means more than you know.
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.
