Dear Friends and Family,

It’s that time of year again—the time when we reach out to the people we love and ask for your support in a fight that means everything to us.

In years past, we’ve been able to share how well Katie has been doing since starting Trikafta. But this year… this year has been different. This year, we nearly lost her.

Katie has endured multiple hospitalizations, surgeries, and complications that pushed her to the edge. It was a terrifying, eye-opening reminder that while this medication has given her more time, it is not a cure. And that’s why now more than ever, we need to keep fighting. Not just for Katie—to make sure she gets to watch her babies grow, to be there for every little moment—but for every single person battling cystic fibrosis.

Even with this life-changing medication, Katie has struggled. Now, imagine those who are still waiting for their chance at a treatment like this. Imagine what would have happened to Katie if she wasn’t on this medicine. That is why we cannot stop now.

Her twins, Hadley and Hayven, are growing so fast, following in their mama’s footsteps in gymnastics and dance. Little Hayes, now two years old, keeps Katie on her toes, filling their lives with so much joy. Those kids need their mommy. They need her for years to come. And that is why this fight has to continue.

The medication that has changed Katie’s life was only possible because of the generosity of people like you. We are forever grateful. But there are still 30,000 Americans living with CF—moms, dads, daughters, sons, friends—who fight every single day just to breathe. We walk for them. We fight for them. And we’re asking you to stand with us.

Progress has been made, but there is still no cure. Too many lives are still being cut short. We refuse to stop until every person with cystic fibrosis has a future. We refuse to leave anyone behind.

This is a pivotal moment in the history of CF. Your support matters now more than ever. With your help, we can continue funding the research that will one day lead to the cure we so desperately need.

Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found.

Please, help us reach our fundraising goal. Every donation, every step forward gets us closer.
