My CF Cycle for Life Story

Fundraising for Chicago CF Cycle for Life
William Krech III
On September 26th, 2025, we’ll be participating once again in the Cycle for Life fundraiser as Team Rally for Tali - a cause that’s incredibly close to our hearts.
Tali was born with CF, a progressive genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes everyday tasks like breathing and digestion difficult, and it often leads to chronic lung infections, damage, and other serious complications.
And yet, Tali continues to meet each day with courage, resilience, and a big, beautiful spirit.
We were recently honored to share a bit of Tali’s story through a short video created by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It’s a moving, 10-minute look into life with CF and the hope we carry forward every day.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. Since its founding 70 years ago, the CF Foundation has made extraordinary progress. In the 1950s, people with cystic fibrosis weren’t expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, people with CF are living into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
The CF Foundation’s highly specialized system of care and unique research enterprise has resulted in more than 12 approved therapies and added decades of life for people with CF. Yet, the most important and challenging work is ahead of us. It will take many years and substantial investment to realize our shared dream of finding a cure so that every person with CF can live their best possible life.
Whether you’re able to ride with us in Chicago or support us from afar, your generosity means the world to our family. Every step and every dollar brings us closer to a future where CF stands for Cure Found.
With deep gratitude,
BJ & Sally
