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.

My nephew, Alex, has lived with this disease since he was 6 months old. He is now 31! This has been made possible by the funds raised that are used for research. The drug Trikafta has been a game changer for many, including Alex, who now has 100% lung function!!

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.
