Can't believe it's been 7 whole weeks since I started 30 Under 30! And 2 weeks since my 27th birthday!
While the new friends and professional development are a huge bonus, the most important and fulfilling part of this program is fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Tennessee Chapter.
It would mean the world to me to see you at one of my upcoming events (June 18th happy hour at Ole Smoky or the celebration on August 10th!), but I would be especially grateful if you would donate to my campaign and help me reach my $5,000 fundraising goal.
Might I suggest $30 to celebrate my Top 30 Under 30 status or $27 for my 27th? Maybe $300 to celebrate the fact that I have 3 more years of being under 30 left?
Some more info on CF and the foundation: Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Sixty years ago, children with CF usually did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, because of Foundation-supported research and care, the median survival age of people with CF is over 50. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
