HEY EVERYONE!! 💙

I am SO excited (and honestly, a little nervous in the best way!) to be taking on yet another challenge this time, the Chicago Marathon! I’ll be running on the Breathe Team, raising funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis (CF).

For those of you who may not know, my sister Alex and I both live with this devastating disease. Every day with CF comes with challenges, some seen, some unseen but I feel incredibly blessed that I am healthy enough to chase big goals like running marathons. The truth is, not everyone with CF gets that chance. Many people are robbed of the ability to do something as simple as go for a jog, let alone take on 26.2 miles. That reality is exactly why I run.

When I ran the NYC Marathon with this amazing team, it completely changed me. I saw firsthand the power of community, the hope that fills every mile, and the incredible impact fundraising has on moving us closer to a cure. I knew right then and there that I wasn’t finished, I was hooked, and I had to keep going.

But here’s the reality:

  • There is still no cure for CF.
  • Too many people with CF are taken far too young.
  • CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that attacks the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes breathing a daily battle and leaves people fighting dangerous infections, often leading to severe lung damage or respiratory failure.


This is why I run. This is why I fight. And this is why I need YOUR help.

Every single dollar raised goes directly toward research, treatments, and—most importantly, hope. Together, we can push forward to the day when CF no longer means cystic fibrosis, but instead… CURE FOUND.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, supporting my sister, and supporting every single warrior out there battling CF. Your generosity and love mean more than I can ever put into words.

Let’s do this!!!! Let's make every mile count, and let’s make CF stand for CURE FOUND! 💙
