Welcome, and thank you so much for being here.

I’m running to raise money for something incredibly close to my heart: Cystic Fibrosis awareness and research—and even more personally, for my sister, Maria James.

Maria isn’t just someone living with Cystic Fibrosis. She’s a warrior. A superhero. The kind of person who faces every day with courage, grace, and a spark that inspires everyone lucky enough to know her.

Through every hospital visit, every treatment, and every breath taken with effort, Maria has shown us what true strength looks like. She fights not just for herself, but for all those living with CF—without complaint, and with the fiercest love for life.

This run is for her. Every mile is dedicated to Maria and to the countless others who battle this disease daily. Your support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or even just reading her story—means the world.

Together, let’s run toward a future where CF stands for Cure Found.

With all my heart—thank you for being a part of this journey.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m running 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?

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.
