My Video
My little sister, Torianna, was diagnosed with CF when she was just two weeks old. I was three at the time and I remember how upset my parents were and I didn't understand why. Torianna looked perfectly healthy to me and I was so excited to finally have a sister. I'm 13 now and Torianna is 10. CF has always been a part of our lives and we have learned to appreciate each day we are given with her. My hope is that there will be a cure in her lifetime and she will grow up and do all the things she wants, like have a family and become a veterinarian.
My sister is my best friend and I want her to live a full and happy life. I hope you will donate to help our family find a cure for Torianna.
Thank you for your love and support of our family.

Important note on Attendance at Foundation Events:
Infections can exacerbate CF symptoms and worsen lung function, so we ask attendees at Foundation-sponsored events to observe the following best practices to reduce the risk of germ transmission:
To further reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation’s attendance policy recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times while attending an outdoor Foundation-sponsored event. All Great Strides walks are non-smoking events.
