What is Cystic Fibrosis
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.
Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
Why I Walk
Two of my cousins, Andrew and CeCe, have cystic fibrosis. They are two of my favorite people on the planet and I want more than anything for them to have long, healthy, fulfilling lives. Every person living with CF needs this cure and we have the power to find it in our lifetime. I cannot wait for the day that we can release the collective breath that we've been holding knowing that we have found a cure - but we can't do it without your help!
You can support me!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history and ensure that the lives of those living with CF are long, healthy, and full of memories!
