advocacy/ˈadvəkəsē/Advocacy : the active support, recommendation, or pleading of a cause, policy, or idea. It involves taking action to raise awareness, defend rights, or influence decisions on behalf of an individual, group, or system.

At The Bonnell Foundation, advocacy is at the heart of everything we do. While our mission is centered on supporting individuals and families living with cystic fibrosis, we believe advocacy extends far beyond any one community. It means standing up for people, amplifying voices, promoting understanding, and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to be seen, heard, and respected. 💜

Today and every day, we celebrate the power of advocacy in all its forms. Happy Pride Month. 🌈 We are proud to support a world where everyone can live authentically, be treated with dignity, and know they belong.

NEW PODCAST OUT TODAY 🎙️✨

What does it really take to create the medicines that change lives?

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Thomas Kaiser—scientist, physician, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Avicenna Biosciences. From designing new therapies to navigating the countless setbacks that come with scientific discovery, Dr. Kaiser offers an honest and fascinating look at the work happening behind the scenes of medical breakthroughs.

We talk about innovation, resilience, the reality of failed experiments, and why persistence is often the most important ingredient in progress. Dr. Kaiser also shares how a childhood fascination with science became a career dedicated to improving and saving lives.

This conversation is insightful, inspiring, and surprisingly personal. If you’ve ever wondered how new treatments are developed—or about the people who dedicate their lives to making them possible—this episode is for you.

Dr. Kaiser’s perspective is a powerful reminder that every breakthrough begins with curiosity, determination, and the willingness to keep going when things don’t work the first time.

Being a part of the Avatar movies?? What a cool job!!!!

On today’s podcast, hear about Living FULLY with CF: Christopher Cornejo’s Journey from Diagnosis to Avatar.

Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as an adult just three years ago, Christopher Cornejo has already become a powerful voice in the CF community — sharing his story at a UCLA CF symposium and being recognized as one of Southern California’s Finest by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

In this honest and inspiring conversation, Christopher opens up about receiving a late diagnosis, navigating health challenges while working in the film industry on Avatar 2 and 3, and the importance of mental health, resilience, and community along the way.

A story about perspective, purpose, and living fully despite the unexpected. 🎙️✨

Today, The Bonnell Foundation remembers and honors those who served our country selflessly and fought for our freedoms. 🇺🇸

Freedom of speech. Freedom to advocate. Freedom to use our voices for those who need to be heard.

May we never take those freedoms for granted. Honor them by speaking up, showing compassion, and continuing to fight for one another — always. ✨
