My story with cystic fibrosis (CF) started in September 2007 when I became a nanny for a tiny three-month-old baby boy with cystic fibrosis and his two siblings. At the time, I didn't know what CF was, how many people it affected, or what the day-to-day looked like for someone with CF and their families. I'm blessed to watch that baby grow into a tall 17-year-old Junior in high school! Since 2007, I've had the privilege of supporting Cystic Fibrosis by serving on the planning committee for multiple Dallas Great Strides walks and introducing the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to the organizations I work for.
I am being honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at a special event recognizing outstanding professionals in my community. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raising money to help the Foundation realize its mission of curing cystic fibrosis and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.
Please help me meet my fundraising goal by donating. By supporting my fundraising efforts, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Sixty years ago, children with CF usually did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
