To honor my wife Leann's memory, I am once again tapping my network to help raise funds to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the search for a cure. My wife, Leann Rittenbaum Ott, was born with cystic fibrosis. A few years after our marriage, Leann and I moved from Atlanta, GA to Durham, NC so she could get on a waitlist for a double lung transplant. She quickly received her lungs, yet she passed away on November 1, 2018.

Although much progress has been made in extending the lifespans of those with CF, too many still die at too young of an age. There is still no cure.
 
I have made a pledge to donate at least 1% of the net proceeds of Andvari Associates—my investment advisory business—to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Andvari has been a proud corporate sponsor of the Cars & ‘Q event for the past two years.

This year, I ask my friends and followers to consider making a donation today. Your support will honor Leann's memory and will help make a difference for all those with CF and their families.

Sincerely,

Douglas Ott
