Please join team A Ray of Hope for Martha for the Great Strides Walk to Cure CF at Lake Phalen Regional Park on May 19, 2024. The walk starts at noon.
As many of you know, Ray and Martha were born with cystic fibrosis in the early 1990's. While there is still no cure for CF, there have been incredible medical advancements in the last 30 years. Martha is lucky enough to benefit from a ground-breaking medication called Trikafta. It has improved the quality of her life and she is now working fulltime for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as running her own business, Sunny Rays, in honor of her brother, Ray who lost his life to a rare cardiomyopathy at the age of twelve.
While Trikafta has greatly impacted Martha's life, it is not a cure and not everyone in the CF community benefits from the medication due to their genetic mutation, side effects or other reasons. The CF Foundation will not stop until a cure is found for EVERYONE with cystic fibrosis.
Please consider joining our Great Strides team and donating to team "Ray of Hope for Martha" and help us achieve our goal.
