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.
About Me:
While I do not have a personal connection to the disease, my motivation for joining the CF foundation is to realize my personal goal of community involvement here in Rochester. I moved to Rochester a year ago; now that I have settled into my job as a landscape designer at SWBR Architecture and Engineering, I have been looking for outreach opportunities across the city. I see my involvement in the CF Foundation as a steppingstone to realizing my goal of having a greater impact on my community and don't want to stop here.
On August 16th, 2025 at 2pm I will be hosting the Rochester Maker's Fair at Rising Storm Brewery. This event is a silent auction which will have items up for bid donated by local artists and small businesses here in Rochester. Please consider joining in the fight against cystic fibrosis by visiting the Maker's Fair. Tickets are $15 pre-sale and $20 at the door.
Info on Cystic Fibrosis:
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.
