My niece, Violet, is the MOST amazing little human I have ever met.  With her constant positive vibe and playful attitude, you would never know she had a disease that came with so much effort to stay alive.  Everyone sees the smiles and laughter as she pretends to be a princess or mermaid. What they don't see though is the everyday challenges of high salt/fat diet mixed with medications, breathing treatments and vibration sessions to keep her system running.  She has been doing this routine everyday since she was a baby.

She is 4 years old and will be starting Pre-K.  I am so excited for her, since past donations have helped develop modern medicine for her to safely be around other kids.  Hopefully, she will never understand how different her life is compared to the average kid.  


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.

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.
