Dear Family and Friends,
As many of you know, my daughters—Maddy (26), Frankie-Lynne (25), and Kate (19)—have been living with cystic fibrosis for as long as we can remember. Despite the constant physical and emotional challenges this condition presents, each of them has shown incredible strength and resilience, battling daily to stay healthy while pursuing their dreams. Maddy, Frankie, and Kate have not only managed to compete at the collegiate level in field hockey, but they've done so with a level of determination that leaves me in awe. It's a constant balancing act of managing their health while pushing themselves to excel, and I couldn't be more proud of them.
Now, they are embarking on a new challenge, running a marathon to raise money for others living with cystic fibrosis, through charity bibs from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They are turning their experiences, their struggles, and their victories into a chance to help those in need by raising awareness and funds for ongoing research and support. This journey isn’t just about them; it’s about creating a future where CF doesn’t have to define who someone can become. I am also honored to share that Cameron (Frankie’s fiance) and I will be running alongside the girls for 26.2 miles! I’m hoping for support from our friends, family and community—whether it's through donations, spreading the word, or simply cheering them on. Your unwavering kindness and encouragement over the years has meant the world to us, and it is because of you that they feel the strength to keep pushing forward. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, your support, and for always being there.
With gratitude and love,
Holly Conklin
