My sister, Courtney, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) when she was just two years old. CF is a lifelong genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, turning everyday life into a battle against infections, digestive challenges, and other serious health issues. For Courtney, it’s meant endless treatments, hours of daily therapies, and even a liver transplant. And yet, she meets every challenge with strength, humor, and determination — inspiring me (and everyone who knows her) every single day.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) is changing what it means to live with CF. Their research, advocacy, and care have helped raise the median survival age to over 50 — something that once seemed impossible. But there’s still work to do. Until there’s a cure, we won’t stop.

As part of this campaign, I’ve pledged to raise at least $3,000 to support the CFF’s mission: to cure CF and ensure that every person with the disease has the chance to live a long, full life. Every dollar you give helps fund breakthrough research, develop life-changing treatments, and bring hope to families like mine.

If you can, please consider donating or sharing my page. Together, we can give people like Courtney — and thousands of others — the future they deserve.
