I am thrilled to be honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of the Capital City's Finest. With this distinction, I have committed to raising $5,000 for this foundation that is near and dear to my heart. This money will go towards research for medicines, treatments, and eventually a CURE for Cystic Fibrosis.

CF became apart of our family's life on December 17th, 2021 when my niece/God Child, Madeline 'Mimi' Kelly, was born. Her first 25 days of life were spent in the NICU fighting for her life. At three days old, due to CF, she had her first surgery that resulted in her having an ostomy bag for 5 months. Now she is a bright, strong, funny 3 year old who is full of life. She takes countless medications each day and spends close to an hour doing treatments just to stay as healthy as possible. Mimi has shown me what the meaning of life truly is and given us all a perspective we wouldn't trade for anything. She is my hero and the definition of a fighter! She is the reason I fundraise!!

Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation, becoming a sponsor, or buying a ticket to the Grand Finale at L'Auberge Casino on August 15th. By supporting my fundraising efforts, you have an opportunity to be part of ending this disease and making CF stand for Cure Found!!
