Mishelle Smith

As someone who has witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by individuals living with cystic fibrosis (CF), I am reaching out to share my journey and extend an invitation to join me in making a difference.

My connection to the CF community began with a single individual, my dear friend Lisa. Her strength, resilience, and spirit in the face of CF inspired me to become more involved and invested in this community. What started with one connection has blossomed into cherished friendships with many incredible individuals living with CF and their families. I am deeply honored to be part of their journey. 

Each person in this community has left an indelible mark on my heart. It is my dream to see them all live long, healthy lives free from the burden of this disease. However, I am acutely aware that achieving this dream requires more than just hope—it requires action.

That's why I am reaching out to you today to ask for your support. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is at the forefront of groundbreaking research, advocacy, and support programs aimed at improving the lives of those living with CF. But now, more than ever, they need our help! 

Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly impact the lives of individuals with CF. It will support vital research initiatives aimed at finding a cure, provide access to life-saving treatments, and offer much-needed support to individuals and families affected by this disease.

By coming together as a community, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those living with CF. Your support will not only bring us closer to finding a cure but will also provide hope and comfort to the CF community. 

I invite you to join me and be a part of creating a brighter future for my friends living with cystic fibrosis. 

Together, we can make a difference.

About CF

Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues.  

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — but these treatments are not a cure and not everyone can benefit from them. We must keep going.

Your support makes a difference.

By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.

Thank you for your continued support!
