I'm Riding for a Cure for Cystic Fibrosis

On September 19th, I’ll be riding in the CF Bike Race to honor my husband and help fight for a cure.

He wasn’t diagnosed with cystic fibrosis until age 30, after years of unexplained pancreatitis and more than 25 hospitalizations. CF has brought countless challenges, including infertility, chronic illness, time away from our family, and the financial burden of repeated hospital stays.

Despite it all, he continues to fight every day while being an amazing husband and father to our 7-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son. 

I’m riding for him, our children, and every family affected by CF. We need better treatments, new antibiotics, affordable care, and ultimately, a cure.

Please consider donating to help us get one step closer.  💙
