As many of you know, our daughter Rosie was born with cystic fibrosis (CF). While there have been incredible advances in treatment, there is still no cure. Too many people with CF die far too young and face daily challenges that most of us can scarcely imagine. That's why I'm cycling in Cycle For Life on Oct 3rd—to help change that reality and make CF stand for Cure Found.

Living with CF isn't easy, yet Rosie amazes us every single day. She lives independently, works full-time, has earned her Master's in Public Health, and makes time to run to stay fit—all while faithfully managing the demanding daily treatments that keep her healthy. She lives one day at a time, and we never take her health for granted. Rosie has always faced CF with remarkable courage, resilience, and dignity.

Although today's treatments have transformed the lives of many people with CF, they are not a cure. Living with cystic fibrosis is still a constant challenge, and that's why we must continue to invest in research until everyone with CF has the opportunity to live a long, healthy life.

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey. Some are thriving, while others continue to battle serious complications every day. Progress has been extraordinary, but there is still a long road ahead for far too many families. We won't stop until there is a cure for everyone.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

You can support our mission by joining Team Riding for Rosie or by making a donation to our team. Every dollar brings us one step closer to the research, treatments, and ultimately the cure that every person living with CF deserves.

Thank you for helping us turn hope into action—and for helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
