CF Fundraising - 2025 - 16th year!

This is my   16th 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.  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 .   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.  She is a reminder that life is precious - life is short - and everything is going to be OK ... have hope.   Today  I am asking for :   1) Please consider making a donation to the  Tara K Telford Graduate Student Award for Cystic Fibrosis Research  at UC Davis. You can do this online from the following link.  Please let me know that you have donated to this fund so I can properly thank you. I will not ...

Isn't that wonderful!! The CFF (and the walk you have helped sponsor) played a critical role in the research and approval of Trikafta. (Trikafta is made by a company called Vertex. In one of these weird coincidences, I listened to a Pricewaterho...
