Kari Rose

I was born in 1982 and at 3-months old diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Unfortunately, at that time no treatments existed and life expectancy was low, so low that doctors told my parents to take me home and prepare for a short life. 

Fast forward to today, I’ll be 41 in a short few months and my quality & quantity of life is more than I ever expected. I’m very fortunate and blessed beyond measure. Through the years many have donated, volunteer and spread the word to help fund a cure. While tremendous progress in treatments along with a path to a cure have been made; we aren’t done yet.

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. Many still die far too young and suffer as this disease continues to progress. 

I walk for them. I walk for me. I walk for future generations. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.  

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
