I'm raising money in memory of my dear friend Kate, who died at age 31, and her brother Pete, both of whom lost their lives to CF. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited chronic disease that affects the respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Donations are being matched by Jessica Fredrick Memorial CF Research Challenge Funds. 

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month!

We invite you to join our Purple Hair Challenge to raise CF awareness!

All donations to the Purple Hair Challenge will be matched dollar for dollar and designated for CFRI's new "Aging in the New Era of CF" Fellows Training Program in memory of Patrick Nash. Donations are being matched by Jessica Fredrick Memorial CF Research Challenge Funds.

💜 Color your hair purple or donate (or both)
Temporary or permanent dye, wigs, extensions, or even digitally edited photos are great!

💜 Challenge others to color their hair purple or donate (or both)
Click on "Become a fundraiser" above to form a team. Anyone who donates or raises $100 or more will receive a Purple Hair Challenge t-shirt.
