There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I have seen this 1st hand with the passing of my beat friend and husband Michael last summer at the age of only 47. He was a true CF warrior and fought till the very end. He never got to see a cure in this lifetime on earth but he is healed now in heaven. I walk for others like him whovlong for a cure for 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. While progress has been made, 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.
