I am humbled and excited to be a part of this year's Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's 50 Finest that aims to recognize young professionals based on our leadership and involvement in our communities. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raise money to help the Foundation realize its mission of controlling and curing cystic fibrosis (CF).

I am fortunate to say I am someone who was lucky enough to have not known CF before this year. It is important for everyone to know that cystic fibrosis doesn't receive any government funding, or pharmaceutical funding. That means that everything that goes towards cystic fibrosis research, cures, education and more comes solely from the foundation's efforts. In making a donation, your generous gift will be used to help support vital CF research, medical and educational programs for those who battle this disease.

Your donation will not only be appreciated by myself, but the over 40,000 individuals who live with cystic fibrosis. Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click the Donate button on this page to make a donation that will be credited to my fundraising efforts. Any amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated!

If you are not familiar with CF, it is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now -- more than ever -- to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research. 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 about 40. This is remarkable progress, but not good enough. We continue to lose precious lives to CF every day.

To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis. Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation!
