MY Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
2020 Rocky Mountain’s Finest CAMPAIGN

My nephew (my brother’s son), Trey Strickler, has Cystic FIbrosis. He’ll be 20 years old in January & he’s one of my favorite people! Trey was diagnosed with CF as a baby, and it’s been a hard road of thousands and thousands of pills, and countless hours of treatments (to clear lung mucus) and multiple hospital stays each year.

CF is a genetic disease (both parents have to be a “carrier”) that affects the body’s ability to remove mucus from the lungs & eventually wreaks havoc on the digestive system as well (many CF-ers also develop diabetes). It is known to cut life way too short for our CF Fighters. The best news is that the CF Foundation is leading the world in medical research and just released a game-changing drug called Trikafta. Trey gets to start Trikafta this year and we’re praying this will help dramatically reduce his lung and digestive symptoms.

In the meantime, Myself, and my whole family, are committed to doing whatever it takes to help CF stand for CURE FOUND!!!
And that’s what I’m doing in this “Finest” campaign- I’m raising money and awareness to help find a cure!

THE CHALLENGE to raise $5K, but my goal is $10K- will you help me?

Would you check to see if your company makes matching donations?
Do you want to buy tickets to our big event and celebrate with us?
Would you consider a cash donation?
Will you help share my posts (and Amber’s too) on social media?
Do you know anyone with a connection to CF- send them to us and we can get them involved!
Anything and everything is welcomed!
