Because of them, being selected as one of Pittsburgh's 50 Finest means so much more than receiving an honor. It's an opportunity to advocate for a cause that has become deeply personal to me.

I've committed to raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because I want Isla and Elliot (and every person living with CF) to have the opportunity to live long, healthy, fulfilling lives. While incredible progress has been made, there is still work to do.

My biggest hope is that one day, CF won't stand for cystic fibrosis anymore... it'll stand for "Cure Found."

If you're able to support my campaign, no matter the amount, I would be so grateful. Every donation helps fund groundbreaking research, life-changing treatments, and brings us one step closer to a cure.

Thank you for supporting a cause that's so close to my heart.

**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.**
