Hello!
I am being recognized by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as an honoree for this year's Northshore's Finest event. It is a privilege to be in collaboration with the Foundation that is so near and dear to me. I have been committed to the mission of the CF Foundation for over 10 years now. Like many people, I never knew CF existed until meeting my husband. And like him and his older brother, Cystic Fibrosis effects nearly 40,000 people in the United States alone. CF is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs making living a normal life seem impossible at times. Maintaining good health as an individual with CF takes a large amount of medication, fierce determination, and a supportive community. That is where you all come in!
By supporting me on this journey, you have the chance to make a difference in the lives of those like my husband: the ones who are told that high school graduation, a career, and a family may not be possible, the ones who inspire us to live life to the fullest without holding back, and the ones who deserve the chance to celebrate milestone birthdays and grey hairs. Today, because of Foundation- supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50! And although the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has fostered the development of over a dozen treatments and has helped add years to the lives of those with CF, many people still do not benefit from these therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with CF- a life free from the burdens of this disease- and we will not leave anyone behind!
Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation. Together we can continue making healthier and longer tomorrows for those living with CF! To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org.
