Cystic Fibrosis 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. There is currently no cure for CF and 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.

As a Registered Dietitian, I have had the privilege of working closely with people living with Cystic Fibrosis. Over the years, I've seen firsthand the challenges and strength that those with CF exhibit every single day. Proper nutrition plays a vital role in managing CF, and through my work, I've been able to provide the care and support needed to help improve the quality of life for my patients.

This connection to all of these extraordinary people has inspired me to go the extra mile - literally - by running a half marathon to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). The research and services provided by the CFF play an essential role in improving the lives of those affected by CF, and I want to do everything I can to support their mission. 

Will you help us end Cystic Fibrosis?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to directly advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF and provide a brighter future for all.

Thank you so much for your support. Together, we can make a difference.
