But it\u2019s been through her work as a volunteer that she has become committed to the people living with the disease, which irreparably damages the lungs and digestive system, and to those working to find a cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile a cure has not been found,\u201d Denham says, \u201cthis foundation has given so many tomorrows to a lot of individuals with CF who didn\u2019t know if they would see life past 20 years of age.\u201d Having reached that benchmark age herself, she wants to see more progress and to give hope to people who face a daily battle to breathe. That means generating more support for research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past decade, Denham has helped with many special events and made personal appeals for donations. She even supported a fundraiser on her birthday in lieu of gifts. So, being chosen to participate in the inaugural year of CFF\u2019s Tomorrow\u2019s Leaders College Program seems a logical next step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four-week virtual program, created for young professionals who are committed to CFF\u2019s mission, provided opportunities to develop leadership, networking, fundraising and advocacy skills. In addition to sessions with leaders in the field, including doctors and foundation directors, the participants took part in breakout rooms led by mentors, building community with other college students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOverall,\u201d Denham says, \u201cthis program is meant for individuals to continue building these skills to make a difference on their campus and beyond.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-810x810.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14959\" width=\"199\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-810x810.png 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-730x730.png 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-696x696.png 696w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-466x466.png 466w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-348x348.png 348w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/10\/Community-Service-1.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Denham, a field hockey player and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/academics\/program\/writing-rhetoric-and-communication\/\">writing, rhetoric and communication<\/a> major at Transylvania, is part of a campus where more than 90% of students engage in community service.
