There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.
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.
My journey with CF started when my daughter Ashley fell in love with Brian Phillips. Brian lost his battle with CF, but left an amazing legacy including two beautiful daughters and my first granddaughters. We continue to walk for a cure so others don't have to experience the loss of a loved one.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
