It's May and Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month!  Please help me raise funds for better treatments and a CURE for CF!

My 14 year old daughter, Emily, has Cystic Fibrosis (CF).  CF is a progressive, genetic disease that causes long-lasting lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. It also affects the digestive stystem and most other body systems.   This year, as a side effect of CF, Emily was diagnosed with CF Related Diabetes.  On top of all of her CF treatments, she now has to monitor her blood sugar and take insulin injections when she eats.  But we will not give up!  Today, because of improved medical treatments and care, more than half of people with CF are age 18 or older. Many people with CF can expect to live healthy, fulfilling lives into their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

Real progress has been made for many of 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. We won’t stop until there is a cure for ALL people with Cystic Fibrosis!

Help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of Emily and all people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.
