There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

I have been a committed advocate for the CF Foundation for over twenty years, motivated by the diagnoses of my niece Leah (20) and nephew Evan (18). I currently serve as the board chair of the foundation’s Michigan Chapter, where I contribute my expertise and passion to further the foundation's mission.

In addition to my local involvement, I am a member of the Tomorrow’s Leaders National Committee, where I collaborate with other leaders to shape the future of CF advocacy and support. This year, I have the honor of serving as a co-chair for the foundation's Volunteer Leadership Conference.

I have made finding a cure for CF my life mission, and I hope we can count on your support.

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?

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.
