I’m truly honored to be recognized by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through this special program celebrating outstanding professionals in our community. I am thankful for the opportunity to commit to raising funds to support the Foundation’s mission to find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF) and help everyone with CF live long, vibrant lives.

I’m reaching out to ask for your support in meeting my fundraising goal. Your donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to ending this disease in our lifetime. By joining me, you’re becoming part of a historic effort to transform lives. Will you stand with me to make this dream a reality?

Cystic fibrosis affects nearly 40,000 people in the United States, causing challenges to the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. When I think about how, just 60 years ago, kids with CF rarely lived past early childhood, I’m amazed at the progress we’ve made. Thanks to the Foundation’s groundbreaking research and care, the median survival age is now over 50. They’ve developed over a dozen treatments, adding decades to lives. But there’s still work to do—many with CF don’t yet benefit from these therapies, and I’m committed to a future where no one is left behind, where every person with CF can live free from this disease.
