Salty Sisters

Welcome to Salty Sisters, a team dedicated to raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of Juliann and her late sister Jessica. As sisters both living with cystic fibrosis, they shared a bond that goes beyond words. Our team name, Salty Sisters, reflects their shared experiences with CF – from the salt air of the beach that helps CFers get out mucus from their lungs, to the need for extra salt on our food, and the literal saltiness of our skin due to excessive sweating, a common symptom of CF.

Jessica's journey with CF was marked by both resilience and struggle. Despite facing numerous challenges, she remained determined and optimistic, especially after receiving a life-changing lung transplant. Her spirit and ambition inspired us all as she embraced her newfound freedom to breathe better. Sadly, Jessica's battle with CF came to an end in 2021, leaving a void in our lives that can never be filled.

Despite the heartache of losing Jessica, we are committed to continuing her legacy by participating in the CFF Great Strides walk. This year marks our team's first step back into fundraising after her passing, and though it's been difficult, we know that Jessica would want us to carry on the fight against CF.

Support Us!

Every dollar we raise brings us closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects thousands of individuals.
