Born in Atlanta, Andy spent most of his young life unaware that the disease he inherited was the same one that took the life of his older sister. Upon finding out, Andy decided to raise awareness in her memory through an annual fundraiser Wish for Wendy, which has raised $2.7 million to date for the CF Foundation, his three books about life with cystic fibrosis and his efforts as a motivational speaker. In 2016, he accepted the Foundation's Alex Award in memory of his hero, Alex Deford.
