I walk in memory of two beautiful girls, Melissa & Amanda Cokelet. I saw them on a daily basis struggle to breathe and survive CF with their family and friends and the CF community of people and therapies by their side, because their mom watched my boys while I went to work in Keyport School District. They both got married, had lung transplants and survived into the their thirties. Melissa by some miracle even was able to have twin baby girls via surrogate, and so their legacy survives through them. 

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.  

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!
