I walk for my amazing Godson, Anders! Anders was diagnosed with CF when he was 6 weeks old. Every day, he has to take countless medications and do many different treatments to manage his symptoms. Even though he fights this battle, he is the most amazing kid! He is active, loves his little sister, is incredibly smart, and is absolutely hilarious! Anders life has been improved tremendously by the advancements in CF treatments, which are made possible by the advocacy of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and donations from supporters like you! Although treatments have made significant leaps and bounds, we won't stop fighting until CF stands for "Cure Found!"

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.
