Fundraising for the Breathe Team

Thank you for looking at my page!
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walk/running the Napa Valley Half Marathon to help change that reality.
I started fundraising for CF in 2009 when my niece was diagnosed. A few years later my nephew, her brother, was also diagnosed with CF. Since their diagnosis my family has been actively involved in fundraising for a cure! We began this journey for our family (Reilly is now 25 and Donovan is 24), but we have met so many amazing families along the way that this is now a fight for everyone impacted by CF.
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. We are grateful for all of the progress made, but 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.
Thank you, in advance, for your support!

PS. If you're in the area, please come and support me! I have a good support team running with me...nieces Megan & Anna (VA), brother Steve (AZ) and a Support team of Christie (TX), Sharon, and little Ava. I am NOT a runner so this is a challenge, but worth the effort of every single step.
