I’m excited to share that I’m participating in ROSE UP on September 18, 2025!
ROSE UP, now in its sixth year, is a virtual fundraising event created and led by adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). This inspiring event brings the CF community together to help advance the mission of finding a cure and improving the quality of life for everyone living with CF.
This year, we’ve created CFF awareness bracelets to thank you for your donation. These REFOCUS BANDS are designed to help you become more mindful by flipping the band each time a negative thought arises—encouraging a more positive mindset and guiding your inner voice in the right direction.
The outside of the band (pictured above) incorporates elements of the CFF logo, and the inside reminds you to “Breathe in Hope,” a loose translation of our team name, Inspire Spero.
We’d like to give a huge thank-you to Alamo Cinema and Drafthouse for sponsoring the bands, which means that 100% of your donation goes directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!
Thank you for reading, for supporting the fight to make CF stand for CURE FOUND, and for your donation. As a thank-you, I’d love to send you a CFF ReFocus Band. I have both adult and child sizes (child size is best for kids under 10). Suggested donation: $15 per band. Just let me know how many you'd like and what sizes!
Let’s ROSE UP together!
