Why I walk?

2013 was our first walk and were just there as Addy's BFF, Mom, Dad, Aunt, etc, not yet Addy's Avengers! She was so little! Been amazing to watch her grow into a beautiful young lady!

My little best friend who is not so little anymore has Cystic Fibrosis and I walk to raise money to help find a cure and improved treatments to extend her life expectancy and all those in the fight against CF! She is a fighter and all the new technology and treatments add tomorrows to what used to be a disease that in the 80's people barely made it to their twenties, in just a few decades the life expectancy has doubled and continues to rise with your donations that go to Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Through fundraisers I've met others with Cystic Fibrosis and heard stories from family and friends who know someone with CF which has increased my passion to raise money to donate on behalf of Addy's Avengers. CF is an awful disease in need of a cure!

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts. Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.

Real progress has been for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Please consider making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!

Please support me!
