I’m honored to be part of Philadelphia’s Finest, a group of young professionals recognized not only for our achievements, but for our commitment to creating meaningful impact in our communities. As part of this recognition, I’ve pledged to raise critical funds and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and their mission to cure cystic fibrosis (CF) and ensure every person with CF can live a long, healthy life.
 

Although I don’t have a personal connection to CF, this cause resonates deeply with my values — service, growth, impact, and connection. I moved to Philadelphia about a year ago, and I’ve fallen in love with the people, the culture, and the energy of this city. This campaign is an opportunity to give back to the community I now call home, and to help educate myself and others about a disease that affects thousands of lives.
 

Being part of this effort isn’t just an honor — it’s a commitment. Over the coming months, I’ll be raising funds, sharing the stories of those impacted by CF, and supporting the incredible work of the Foundation.
 

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in CF research and care. Thanks to their efforts, the median survival age for people with CF has risen from early childhood to over 50. The Foundation has helped develop more than a dozen breakthrough treatments — giving people with CF decades more life — and they’re not stopping until everyone with CF has access to a cure. Still, many individuals don’t yet benefit from available therapies, and the work continues.
 

Please consider donating to support this mission. Together, we have the chance to change lives and be part of a future free from CF.

Thank you for supporting this cause — and for helping me live out my values through action.
