Hi!! Thanks for joining me on this journey :) the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has blessed my family immensely since my younger sister was born in 2012. My sister, Emie, is truly my hero (though she can never know I said this). The strength, positivity and determination she has exhibited on her CF journey has led her so far. I'm so excited to see what her future will hold, and I feel blessed to have that ability thanks to the Foundation and Cystic Fibrosis Community.

The Foundation has had immense success in their research and medicine in the past several years, which my family has been incredibly blessed by. However, the variety of mutations for the disease means that there is still so much research to be done! My goal is to raise $2,500 ($100 for every year life expectancy has increased since 2012). I am so thankful for however you can contribute to CF research and raising awareness for this disease!


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.
