Natalie lived her entire life with cystic fibrosis, and her daily routine simply became second nature. She wanted to be treated just like her brother – even when it came to doing household chores.

After Natalie’s passing, her mom, Mariette, joined the Walk in 2014. She ran her first 5 km that year, inspiring those around her. As her community rallied behind her, her team grew – and so did its impact.

“If I can have an impact, I would have accomplished my mission and kept my promise to my daughter, Natalie”.

Join Mariette and the CF community on May 31 as we walk to create a future without limits. https://bit.ly/4beb6LF
