Dear Friends,
 

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you! The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is recognizing me at a special event for outstanding professionals in our community. It's a true honor, and as part of this recognition, I've taken on a meaningful challenge: to raise funds to support the Foundation's vital mission to find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF) and to empower those affected by this disease to lead full, rewarding lives.
 

This cause is close to my heart, and I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. By backing my efforts, you're not just donating—you're joining a movement. Together, we can make a monumental impact and possibly even make medical history by helping to end this disease.
 

Did you know that nearly 40,000 Americans battle cystic fibrosis? This genetic disease progressively attacks the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. Decades ago, a child with CF had a drastically shortened life expectancy. Today, thanks to research and care supported by the CF Foundation, the median life expectancy for someone with CF has increased to over 50 years. While we've made great strides, with new treatments extending lives, the battle is far from over. Many still do not benefit from current therapies, and our ultimate goal is a cure for every single person living with CF.
 

Help us Strike Out Cystic Fibrosis! Every swing brings us closer to a cure. Visit www.cff.org to learn more about cystic fibrosis and how the CF Foundation is making a difference. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us move closer to a world free from the burden of this disease.
 

Thank you for standing with me in this fight. Together, we can truly change lives.
 

Warm regards,
 

Jason Grilli “Grillcheese”
