Hi guys! I really appreciate you considering to donate to such a worthy cause. Outside of my work as a realtor with Hometown Realty, I really enjoy getting involved in my community. So this year, along with a handful of other awesome young professionals, I have committed to helping raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation this year. In accepting this responsibility, I have pledged to raise money to help the Foundation realize its mission of curing cystic fibrosis (CF) and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.
Prior to getting involved with the Foundation, I admit that I had no personal connection to Cystic Fibrosis—but I knew I wanted to get involved in my community and help make a positive impact on a great cause. I’ve teamed up with a sweet little girl named Margot and got to tour the Children’s Hospital of Richmond to get a better idea of what her life with CF looks like. She has to take daily medications, perform daily therapeutic treatments at home, and frequent visits to the doctor, but otherwise she’s a completely normal girl who lives a full life. None of that would be possible without the advancements that have been made in CF treatment in recent years.
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.
