My sister, Kaitlyn, was born with Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have CF. Unfortunately, my sister lost her battle to CF in 2016. I walk for her, to continue her battle and help raise awareness to find a cure.
Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
You can support me!
You can support my sister by walking alongside me on Saturday, April 27th, at the Glasgow Park in Wilmington or you can donate and support my fundraising goal. You have an opportunity to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining me and help make medical history.
