Dear Friends,Katie lives with CF; however, she is so much more. Katie's smile lights up a room and her kindness and sensitivity for others feeds her drive to give back to her community. Her compassion for others and well-balanced lifestyle provide a strong foundation for guiding others through a mindful introspection of themselves and their relationships as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in her own private practice, The Loom Therapy Practice. Katie specializes in working with those with chronic illnesses, trauma, and difficult family relationships. She believes "that we are all interwoven and need supportive relationships to learn about ourselves, others, and the world.” This belief is deeply connected to our Rose Foundation community.
Katie has become involved with a number of projects with the CFF and mental health and has been a CF Peer Mentor. In recent years, Katie worked with a group of researchers, adults with CF and parents of individuals with CF to review community and medical provider surveys to assess CF mental health research priorities. Katie has also been invited to join a few upcoming research projects, pending funding, related to mental screenings and evaluations, as well as invited to be one of the founding members for a mental health research group, PRIME: Prioritizing Research in Mental Health, to help address some of the key research questions around mental health and CF.
We humbly ask for your help. WE NEED YOU to PLEASE join us and help make the journey of those with CF easier by spreading awareness and raising funds that will go towards development of better treatments, meds and fund a CURE FOR CF.
There are approximately 40,000 Americans living with CF and 10 million who are carriers of the CF gene.. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe.
By joining Team RUN FOR ROSES TODAY and making a donation you are helping add more healthier tomorrows for so many.
Your gift is 100% tax deductible.
With warmest gratitude,
Linda & Jeff
