Dear Friends, Family & Colleagues:

I am reaching out to you today in an effort to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation once again. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that limits a person's ability to breathe and impacts every organ that secretes something. Over time, it shortens the lives of those it affects. When the CF Foundation first began in 1955, people with CF seldom lived to see elementary school, but today more than half of the CF population are adults and are reaching major milestones. Because of the money donated to research to find a cure, the life expectancy is now in the 50's!

As a lot of you already know, Alex was first diagnosed when he was 6 months old. He has had to live with this disease and all of its implications since.  Alex continues to stay mostly healthy due to the many advancements in treatments, such as Trikafta, but also his own perseverance in working out and maintaining a healthy diet.  So many of y'all have donated and/or have participated in the Great Strides event for over well over 20 years.  All of the research and new treatments are in part to you. 

The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to find a cure for cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care. Nearly every CF-specific drug available today was made possible with the financial support of the CF Foundation.

I will be participating in the Great Strides Walk at the Austin FC Q2 Stadium on May 4. My personal goal is to raise $500. My team goal is to raise $1,000. Here are several ways to help support my goal:

Donate to my page! Any amount of money is much appreciated!

Or, help me raise funds by signing up for Alexander's Army on the Fight CF app and participate in the Great Strides Walk on May 4! Come join us!!

Best Wishes,
