I am so excited to announce that I am being honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at a special event called Harrisburg's Finest. This event recognizes outstanding young professionals in my community. Not only is it wonderful to be recognized as a young professional contributing to my community, but it's an even bigger honor because this distinction is coming from an organization that is so near and dear to my heart. 
My sister Kaitlyn was born with Cystic Fibrosis and diagnosed at 9 months old. CF is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have CF. Unfortunately, my sister lost her battle to CF in 2016. I continue to work alongside this great organization to continue her battle and help raise awareness to find a cure. 

I have committed to raise money to help the Foundation continue its mission of curing (CF) and providing all people with CF an opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.

Please help me meet my fundraising goal of $5,000. By supporting my fundraising efforts, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.

Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
