Hi there,

I’m Piper Beatty Welsh and I’ll be one of your emcees for Together: Celebrating 65 Years on June 5.

If you haven’t heard about it already, this virtual event will be a moment for all of us in the CF community to gather and celebrate all we have accomplished. With everything going on in the world right now, I’ve really been missing my local chapter events, the excitement of Great Strides, and the other opportunities we usually have to come together. This chance to connect with all you beautiful people means so much to me!

Like so many of you, I live with cystic fibrosis. I was diagnosed at six weeks old and underwent two double lung transplants in my late twenties. In between, I completed college, law school, and a master’s degree, married my best friend, adopted two dogs, and did so many of the little things that make life worth living.

Today, people with CF are increasingly finding new ways to beat back this terrible disease. Transplant options and innovative therapies are available now because of the 65 years of hard work and determination we have put in as a community.

I hope you will take some time on June 5 to join me in celebrating what we have accomplished so far and get reenergized together as we look to the future.

Thank you for all that you do to keep our community connected! I also want to thank our national sponsors – AbbVie, Vertex, Genentech, Gilead, Mylan, and American Airlines – which continue to offer their support during these uncertain times so we can put on a great celebration and keep moving forward on the path to cure CF.

See you on June 5!

Piper Beatty Welsh
