CF Fundraising 2022

Hello past donors to cystic fibrosis research! I last raised money for CF research in 2019. They had virtual events in 2020 and 2021 – but I was not able to participate. In this time my dad entered the “severe Alzheimer’s” stage and I have taken over care for him. I know there are a lot of deserving causes to champion. Every little bit adds up and, while I hope you support CF research, I really just want all of us to make the world a better place.   This is my 13th year raising money to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis. I do this in memory of my friend, Tara, who passed away on November 18, 2017.    Tara was full of positivity, throughout her life - throughout her illnesses, hospital stays, medications, pain and discomfort.  She made the world feel a little brighter - a little more full of hope.  When really great things happen in my day, I feel her presence.  It's her reminder that life is precious - life is short - and everything is going to be OK ......

Thank you for your CF donation - 2022
