I am incredibly honored to announce that I have been selected by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Richmond’s Finest Honorees for 2026. This program recognizes young leaders in the Richmond area for their professional achievements and community involvement, but more importantly, it gives us a platform to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. For many, life with CF means hours of daily treatments including "shaking" vests to clear the lungs and taking dozens of pills just to digest a simple meal. For the last 13 years, the Virginia Chapter has been relentless in the fight for a cure. Since 2014, this campaign has raised over $3.1 million for CF research and specialized care.

By supporting my campaign, you are directly funding the research and gene therapies that will one day bring an end to CF. I am proud to be a part of the 2026 Honoree Class, and I would be deeply grateful to have you join me in this fight.
