Chasing Cystic Fibrosis Across America

I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth, a genetic disorder affecting various organs, especially the lungs and digestive system.

Each day presented new challenges, and I never knew what tomorrow would bring. Previously, I relied on daily antibiotics to combat lung infections and other CF-related issues. Regular hospital visits were necessary to keep me on track.

However, my life took a positive turn when I began gene modulator therapy. This second chance at life has allowed me to pursue my passion for cycling and raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis.

In the summer of 2024, I am embarking on a groundbreaking journey to become the first person with CF to solo cycle across America. The aim is to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and promote their remarkable accomplishments over the past four decades. The funds raised will cover accommodation (if camping is not possible), food, insurance,  transport and essential needs. Any remaining funds will be donated to the foundation.

For corporate and direct fundraising, I will be utilizing the official channels of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
