Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. This includes myself.
We are daughters, sons, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for all of us.
Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments, including life-changing genetic treatments, and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF, like me, do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis to have a life free from the burden of this disease and to not leave anyone behind.
You can support me!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of curing this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
I'm walking at Cedar Crest College, Allentown, PA with the rest of the Lehigh Valley CF community. You can join me if you'd like. Link to register: https://fightcf.cff.org/site/TR?fr_id=10514&pg=entry
