I’m honored to share that I’ve been selected by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) as one of the outstanding professionals in my community. With this recognition comes a commitment I’m proud to take on: raising funds to help the Foundation pursue its mission of curing cystic fibrosis (CF) and ensuring that every person with CF can lead a long, fulfilling life.

This year, my efforts go beyond the Finest campaign. I’m also training to run the 2026 NYC Marathon as part of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Breathe Team on November 1st, 2026. I’ve included the link to my marathon fundraising page, and I would be deeply grateful for any support you can offer toward this incredible cause.

Please help me meet my fundraising goals by making a donation. 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.

Thank you for your generosity, your encouragement, and your belief in a future free from CF.
