For many years I’ve been proud to support Great Strides, raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in the fight for a cure.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I lost a dear friend to cystic fibrosis, and that loss continues to motivate me to keep showing up and doing what I can to help change the future for families living with this disease.

Because of research funded by events like Great Strides, incredible progress has been made over the last 15 years. New treatments are helping people with CF live longer, healthier lives than ever before. But there is still no cure, and too many lives are still cut far too short.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, making it difficult to breathe and fight infections. Every person with CF faces a unique battle — but every one of them deserves a future.

On May 3rd, I’ll be walking in Great Strides Middle Tennessee, and I’m asking for your help.

If you’re able, please consider donating to support research that leads to life-saving treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Every dollar truly moves us one step closer.

Thank you for supporting this mission and helping families facing CF hold on to hope.
