When my nephew, Kemper, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a baby, our world changed. But thanks to the incredible work of the CF Foundation, so did his future.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and for a long time, the prognosis was bleak. But the story is changing.

We’ve seen firsthand how research has extended life expectancy and turned "impossible" into "possible." However, "better" isn't enough. CF is still a life-shortening genetic disease that attacks the lungs and vital organs.

We aren't just walking for awareness. We are walking for research, for science, and for more time. Every dollar brings us one step closer to the day Kemper never has to worry about his next breath. I donate because I want Kemper to grow up in a world where "CF" stands for "Cure Found."
