I just celebrated my 6th Anniversary of working for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! People often ask how I got involved with CF and truthfully, they're the company that hired me. I didn't know anything about cystic fibrosis and had no personal connection. But after 6 years, I now know dozens of people living with cystic fibrosis who I can call my friends. And even more of their own friends, family, and supporters. CFF may have just been the organization that hired me but this mission is now personal for me too.

We have made incredible strides in CF research and care. Individuals who weren't expected to live past their teens are now starting families of their own! But there is still work to be done. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

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

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
