19 Years of Beating Cystic Fibrosis! Help Jenny Stay Strong!

Posted on March 8, 2018 by in What's New

Many of you are aware that my daughter Jennifer was born with Cystic Fibrosis, and has been fighting this disease successfully since 1998. This year, her older sister Nicole is running the Boston Marathon in order to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on behalf of Jenny. If you would like to donate ANY amount, you can click on this link to donate, and leave a note for Jenny.

Jenny graduated from high school last year, and is a freshman at St. Anselm’s College in Manchester, NH.

Nicole Smith graduated from Babson College in 2017, and is working at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, the company that makes a life saving CF medicine that Jenny is currently taking. This will be Nicole’s first marathon. She was a 4-year varsity field hockey player at Babson College.
