Friends and colleagues - Please join me in fighting for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis!?

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs.? There are close to 40,000 children and adults living with cystic fibrosis in the United States (and an estimated 105,000 people have been diagnosed with CF across 94 countries), and CF can affect people of every racial and ethnic group.

?

There have been tremendous advancements in?specialized CF care?which have added years and improved the quality of the lives of people with cystic fibrosis. During the 1950s, a child with CF rarely lived long enough to attend elementary school. Today, many people with CF achieving their dreams of attending?college, pursuing careers, getting married, and?having kids.

?

In September I'll be participating in a 30.1 mile hike to raise funds for CFF.? If you feel led, please donate to our cause.

?

This is especially important to me as CFF therapies (like the https://www.cff.org/managing-cf/high-frequency-chest-wall-oscillation-vest) are currently helping my mom who suffers from multiple respiratory illnesses.?

Thank you!!!
