I've been personally touched by cystic fibrosis (CF) and the impact it has on families. My mom works for the CF Foundation, and through her, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and making lifelong friends within the CF community—friends I would not have had if she hadn’t invited me to these events. My mom also knew someone in high school who had CF, so she has shared with me about the disease and how we can help. 
 

My mom's work has shown me just how important it is to support CF research and to help improve the lives of those affected. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and far too many people with CF lose their lives at a young age. 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.
 

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.
