Will you help me make a difference in the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis? 

I am pleased to share that I have been selected as one of Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30 by Tennessee’s Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This program brings together the most active and influential young professionals and philanthropists in our area to support a great cause: finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. I have a goal of raising $5,000 to make a difference in the lives of the 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. battling cystic fibrosis (CF)—and I need your help.

Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation. Your gift will be used efficiently and effectively to help support vital CF research, as well as medical and education programs.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Click “Donate Now” to make a donation on CFF’s online fundraising site that will be credited to my fundraising efforts. Any amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support,

My FUNDRAISING Goal

$5,000

I currently have some fundraising events in the works—and one may or may not involve live music. Stay tuned!

Meet Emmett

I met Emmett and his wonderful family at CFF’s Great Strides Walk. Emmett is a bright 6-year-old boy living in Nashville. His favorite superhero is Spider-Man and he has two older sisters he loves dearly. His family was surprised after he was born because—unlike his two sisters—he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. A donation toward finding a cure for Emmett and all people living with CF would make my day—please consider making a donation today!

Meet Trenton & Marlaina

I had so much fun getting to know these two siblings and their wonderful mom, Pam, at the Top 30 Kickoff event. Trenton & Marlaina even brought their CF vests so that we could experience the high-frequency oscillation treatments that they have to do twice a day, every day. There have been so many advancements in cystic fibrosis research, but 10% of the CF population is still waiting for a corrective drug for their rare mutations. Trenton & Marlaina are among that 10%. By making a donation, you would be supporting the ongoing research necessary for people like Trenton & Marlaina to one day have a corrective drug.

About Nashville Top 30

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation works to recognize young professionals who are already making a name for themselves in their profession and helps them grow into community leaders. Each year the foundation selects 30 individuals to be part of Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30 program. Honorees participate in a 16-week development program challenging themselves and growing their skill sets through a philanthropic competition raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
