Debbie Kelly

 Today is Lauren's earthly birthday. She would have been 32 today. Instead, she is forever 23, passing away shortly before her 24th birthday. She wanted new lungs for her birthday, but sadly, she received her angel wings instead.

In honor of her memory, I am fundraising to help ensure other individuals with cystic fibrosis don't die young. If you can find it in your heart to support Laur's memory, please make a donation. It doesn't matter how big or small. We appreciate you thinking of her.

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.

Lauren was a proud supporter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. She would be thrilled to know that you support her. Let's give young people like Lauren a fighting chance at a normal life.

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
