May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month! Exercise for a good cause!

In honor of my daughter, who was born with this life-threatening disease, I am fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! Every Friday in May, I will teach a fundraiser class. Anyone can attend by making a small donation (I am recommending $15 per class!) to my fundraising campaign.

I have been fundraising for the CF Foundation for over 12 years, ever since I found out my daughter would be born with this condition when I was 18 weeks pregnant. The CF Foundation is the reason our daughter and thousands like her have hope for longer, healthier lives.

Our daughter is doing great and loves to dance, play soccer, and surf. Just to maintain her health, she has an extensive care routine daily. She does at least three nebulizers and chest physical therapy 2-3 times per day, every day. She takes 20+ oral pills daily, including every time she eats. She visits a team of five doctors and specialists every quarter, where she does bloodwork, chest x rays, lung function tests, and more. All of this care and medication was developed by the CF Foundation. When our daughter was 6 years old, she started a breakthrough medication that has drastically changed life expectancy for people with CF. This incredible organization is the reason thousands of people with CF and their families have hope for longer, healthier lives, but there is still no cure and still so much work to be done.

Thank you for sweating with me for a great cause!
