Help Me Honor My Brother and Fight for a Cure
 

This Saturday, June 7th, I will take part in the Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis—a walk that holds more meaning to me than words can fully express.

Forty-five years ago, I lost my big brother Shawn, who bravely fought against Cystic Fibrosis. He was only 10 years old when he passed, and he surpassed every expectation of his doctors. Shawn lived life fully and never missed an opportunity to tease his younger siblings (yes, I’m talking about me!). He was a warrior in every sense, and his fight left a lasting mark on my heart.

Cystic Fibrosis may have taken him from us, but it didn’t take his spirit. Shawn taught me the power of perseverance and the importance of never giving up.

Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It creates thick, sticky mucus that suffocates the lungs, making it incredibly difficult to breathe. 

This Saturday, June 7th, I will walk alongside many others who are fighting for the same cause. We are walking for every infant, toddler, teen, and young adult who is struggling with Cystic Fibrosis. But we can’t do this alone, we need your help to get one step closer to finding a cure.

Please consider supporting me with a donation—every dollar counts. Your contribution can make all the difference in someone’s fight for breath, for life, for hope. 
 

With love and gratitude,
Holly
