Fundraising for Valley of the Sun Great Strides 2026

Hi friends and family!
Last year, you helped me successfully raise more than $7,000, and I recently was honored with a Great Strides fundraising award from the Arizona CF Foundation!
Let's continue that for 2026!
As you know, my husband Drew is one of 40,000 people in the US with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects the lungs, stomach, liver and other organs.
That sounds scary, but because of the tireless fundraising of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, it's way less scary than it used to be.
They have been able to fund research and treatments since 1955, and have helped raise the median age of survival by 60+ years - that is incredible progress in a short time.
Drew's health and prognosis have been greatly improved by the amazing medications developed by scientists in the last 10+ years, treating the underlying cause of CF. There are now more adults living with CF than children - another amazing stat!
There is amazing research happening all the time, including gene therapy and treatments for 10% of the CF population with no treatments today.
If you know me and you know Drew, then you see firsthand how these funds help people you love. Drew plays tennis, goes SCUBA diving, and owns his own business; and we dedicate a lot of our time and passion to adopting senior dogs.
Please help us continue the CF Foundation's amazing progress and donate any amount -- we have a long list of travel plans and many dogs to adopt! :)
Thank you!! xoxo
