Cystic fibrosis isn’t just a diagnosis to me....it’s personal.

I’ve lost two of my best friends, Scott and Jen, to CF. They fought with everything they had until they couldn’t fight anymore. Losing them left a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I walk so that fewer people have to experience that kind of heartbreak.

Scott and Jen would be amazed by how far the CF community has come. Treatments have improved. Lives have been extended. Hope is stronger than it used to be. But the truth is - we still have a long way to go. There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF are still dying far too young.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that attacks the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes breathing difficult, weakens the body’s ability to fight infections, and often leads to severe lung damage and respiratory failure. Every person with CF experiences this disease differently, but no one should have to face it without hope for a cure.

That’s why I walk....in memory of Scott and Jen, and for every family and friend still fighting this disease. I walk to raise awareness, to honor those we’ve lost, and to help change the future for those living with CF today.

If you’re able, please consider donating to support research and science working toward a cure. If donating isn’t possible, you can still make a difference: walk with us, share my story, and help spread awareness.

Together, we can help ensure that fewer people lose their friends, siblings, children, and loved ones to cystic fibrosis.

Will you help us make CF stand for Cure Found?
