I am excited to share that I am 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). ROSE UP brings the CF community together, highlighting passions of those participating, to raise money for research and finding a cure for ALL with CF.

This last year, my focus and passion has been working out and focusing on my lung health. I’m grateful for the strength to move, to sweat, and to push through the challenge of every class I show up for. I’m excited to announce that I’m doing a ROSE UP workout on September 18^th at my gym, in Omaha!

While there have been significant advances in the quality of life with CF during my lifetime, none of them are a cure. Every day I spend hours behind the scene doing treatments and managing my health to be able to continue to show up to my next workout class. There are so many worthwhile causes available and now more than ever dollars are tight; however, I’m asking if you have funds to spare to please help me ROSE UP and donate today. Any amount helps and is truly appreciated.

I am proud to be part of ROSE UP this year, joining others in the CF community who dream of the day when CF stands for Cure Found. Please join me in supporting ROSE UP! 

Thank you for your support!
