Let’s make CF stand for Cure Found!

I worked for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for 3 years and met some incredible people. I am honored to be a part of Team Alyssa. 

I'll be missing the Great Strides walk in Harrisburg this year, as I will be in West Virginia running a 55K on Sunday. I will be keeping all those with CF in my thoughts as I make my way through the course, and especially will keep moving forward in memory of Alyssa.

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.
