Our whole family is passionate about the foundation and its efforts. They are the ones funding all the pharmaceutical breakthroughs that are going to give our sweet Vivian a solid future. All I want is to be a grandma because that would mean that she's lived. Vivian wants to see Egypt some day. Please help my dream & her dream come true. Thanks!!

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis and my precious daughter Vivian is one of them. She struggles everyday with having this disease. Over an hour a day doing a breathing treatment and wearing a compression vest and countless amounts of pills. Plus, due to the disease causing malabsorbtion, she had to have a feeding tube placed at the age of 4. She struggles every day just to breathe. Now, due to COVID she hasn't been able to go anywhere or play with friends since March 13. I walk for her and hope you will support me in my efforts.

Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There still is no cure for this devastating disease. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.

Please support me!
