I am incredibly honored to have been named one of Birmingham's Finest by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. While I'm grateful for the recognition, this distinction isn't really about me. It's about my son, Logan, and our family's relentless fight to cure Cystic Fibrosis.

Many of you know our "why." Our incredible 4-year-old son, Logan, is a CF warrior. His fight began the moment he was born, starting with a 2.5-month stay in the NICU and two major surgeries. He has faced more in his young life than most of us can imagine, and he does it with a strength that inspires us every single day.

We are living proof of the progress your support can make. Thanks to groundbreaking research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Logan is thriving on a new modulator therapy. We see the direct impact of this progress in his laughter, his energy, and his ability to just be a kid.

But this amazing treatment is not a cure.

The daily burden of therapies is still immense, and this drug doesn't work for everyone with this devastating disease. Our fight is far from over. Our vision is a life for Logan and the nearly 40,000 others with CF that is free from the constant burden of this disease. We will not stop until a cure is found for every single person.

That is why I accepted this distinction as one of Birmingham's Finest. I have committed to raising critical funds to help the Foundation realize its mission. The progress is undeniable: sixty years ago, children with CF rarely lived to attend elementary school. Today, the median survival age is over 50. This is tangible progress fueled by people like you.

Please join me and help me meet my fundraising goal. By supporting my campaign, you are funding the cutting-edge research that adds tomorrows and brings us closer to making CF stand for "Cure Found."

Thank you for your incredible support. Together, we can make medical history.
