2024 will mark the 46th anniversary of my sister Lisa Rae's passing and August 7th marks the day in 1978 when she took her last breath and lost her battle. She was just 15 years old and life expectancy was 18 years old. Today, because of the incredible progress  that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made, people with CF are reaching new milestones and are living longer. But the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short! Children are still being admitted to hospitals, enduring hours of treatments each and every day, and swallowing dozens of pills a day.

There still is NO cure for this devastating disease. The Foundation has lead the way for transformative therapies and treatments for many people with CF, but not everyone has an effective treatment for their mutation.

I am hoping you will join and support me by making a donation to my 2024 Great Strides fundraising campaign today and support my efforts in my Lisa's memory and for all those still battling CF. We are Driven by a Dream for a life free of cystic fibrosis.  You can be part of making history, as I truly believe this disease will have a cure in our lifetime!  Thank you! Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.
