I’m grateful to once again be part of this year’s DFW’s Finest and Tomorrow’s Leader’s Committee with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). This is my 5th year supporting the Foundation through this initiative, and it continues to mean so much to me. As part of the effort, I’ve committed to raising funds to help advance the mission of controlling and ultimately curing Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

My connection to this cause is deeply personal. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at just 5 weeks old, and at that time, my parents were told I would not live past the age of 3. Thanks to research and care supported by the Foundation, I am here today—one of many adults living with CF who have been given the opportunity to pursue careers, relationships, and dreams once thought impossible.

Serving on Tomorrow’s Leaders and DFW’s Finest Committee, I’ve seen firsthand how every donation fuels groundbreaking research, drives advocacy, and extends and improves lives. 

Your support does more than raise awareness—it provides hope, accelerates progress, and brings us closer to the day when CF truly means Cure Found.

Please consider helping me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation or purchasing a ticket to this year’s Dallas’ Finest event. Contributing is simple, secure, and impactful. If you are unable to give financially at this time, sharing my link and spreading awareness of my story is equally meaningful.

Cystic Fibrosis remains a devastating genetic disease affecting the lungs and digestive system. While incredible progress has been made—today the median survival age has risen to about 40—we must keep pushing forward. Every dollar raised is another step toward breakthroughs that save lives.

Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation!
