It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since I had the incredible honor of serving as a Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Ambassador. Today, I’m proud to return as a 2025 CF Finest Honoree—celebrating not only how far I’ve come, but how far we’ve come together in the fight against cystic fibrosis.

Born with CF, this journey has shaped nearly every part of who I am. From a young age, I’ve been closely connected to the Foundation, participating in events, raising awareness, and sharing my story in hopes of inspiring others and advancing our shared mission. CF has always been a part of my life, but so has community, resilience, and hope.

Over the past decade, I’ve seen firsthand the progress we’ve made—new treatments, stronger support systems, and more voices joining the cause. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this momentum and to once again lend my voice to this mission that means so much to me.

This 10-year anniversary is more than a milestone; it’s a full-circle moment. I’m honored to be recognized alongside so many amazing advocates, and I remain committed to a future where every person with CF can live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. 

Once again, I appreciate all the support from friends, family, and the community. I hope to see you at some of my fundraising events as I am committed to raising money for the Foundation!

I am being honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at a special event recognizing outstanding professionals in my community. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raise money to help the Foundation realize its mission of curing cystic fibrosis (CF) and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.

Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation. 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.

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.
