McCall Casas
Hi everyone! My name is McCall Casas, and yes, that’s right – I am back again this year!!! I was honored and humbled to have been selected to participate in the 2022 DC Finest Program. It was not only a great experience but allowed me to connect with my local chapter. After my season as a Finest, I wanted to continue my participation with the program and am happy to announce I am sitting on the board as a Mentor again this year!!
For those of you that do not know, my connection to CF started as a baby: my older sister and nephew have CF. She’s almost 3 years older than me and my nephew is 3 years younger. They were both diagnosed before the age of one, so I mean what I say when I say it’s been a part of my life from the beginning. I have been participating in fundraisers for over 30 years.
Fundraising money to expand research is paramount in this community. I am fortunate that my sister is someone who now benefits from medicines that were not available 5-10 years ago. This program and the CCF are something near and dear to me personally. As always, I look forward to networking within the CFF family and learning new inventive ways to connect with the professional communities and enhance my ability to impact CFF.
Please help me meet my fundraising goal by donating!!
I will continue to post on social media throughout the campaign season, so be on the lookout for bi-weekly updates. Here shortly I will be introducing my mentee, and I hope all the people who support me will also donate to her campaign too!!!
More info on CF below:
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Sixty years ago, children with CF usually did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50. 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.

Until it’s done.
