Support Renee's Cystic Fibrosis Campaign!

I’m raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. And I'm trying stand‑up comedy for the first time (!) and I need your support.
I’m participating in LOL4CFF, a comedy competition featuring first‑time stand‑up comedians, where I’ll perform a five‑minute set to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
While I am participating in the stand-up competition, I have been impacted by Cystic Fibrosis. My younger cousin, Teresa Truxillo, passed away at age 19 in 2004 from CF. Teresa had a larger-than-life personality and I can still hear her infectious laugh today. She left a mark in the world to all those she met, I'm sure of it.
I’m proud to raise funds in honor of Teresa, the greater Truxillo family, and all who fight CF, have bravely fought CF, and loved ones impacted by this disease.
It is wonderful that there are several CF Modular therapies, such as Trikafta, which can be used on ~90% of patients with CF. The life expectancy has increased by 30-40 years. It has now been approved on patients age 2+ and the hope is that patients receiving CF modular drugs at a young age can increase the life expectancy to that of a person living without CF.
How You Can Support
There are several ways to help:
Why It Matters
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, leading to chronic infections and life‑threatening complications.
Thanks to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, life expectancy for people with CF has doubled over the past 30 years. Still, many individuals do not benefit from existing therapies. Our goal is a CURE for every person with CF—and a life free from this disease.
You are a vital part of that progress. Together, let’s make CF stand for Cure Found.
