As the first contributor to the CF Community Blog, I was ecstatic when the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation reached out to me about authoring the 500th post. As I look back on all the stories the CF community has contributed over the past three years, I can't help but feel grateful for the opportunity for connection.
Caring for somebody with CF used to be a lonely journey. But that changed after I attended the first Volunteer Leadership Conference (VLC). I have attended the conference every year, and this year as a co-chair of the 15th VLC, I'm welcoming everybody to livestream it so we can share and learn together.
Three of our Impact Grant awardees tell us how the program has allowed them to make a difference.
After my son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, I knew I wanted to do more to fight for a cure. That's when I decided to start Charleston Mom Prom, a Passion Fundraising event that has raised thousands of dollars for CF, while allowing us moms to have a night on the town.
Although my wife, Wendy, passed away eight years ago, I continue to raise funds for cystic fibrosis to keep her memory alive.
Our dream for our daughter, Eden, is the same one that parents have for their kids who don't have cystic fibrosis. We want her to be happy and realize her true potential.
The night of our first cystic fibrosis-related fundraising gala was memorable in more ways than one. Thanks to new friendships, I got the chance to honor my daughter with CF in a special way.
