My name is Kerri Boucher and I was diagnosed with CF when I was five years old. I have one sister, Mallory, who also has CF. We were tested for CF after a family doctor ordered a chest x-ray for my chronic cough and sinus issues. Thankfully, I was able to grow up without frequent hospitalizations and was able to participate in activities such as figure skating and concert band in school.

After college, I did have many issues with my health because of CF and it became harder to manage. I was lucky enough to qualify for the Kalydeco trials in my late 20s which helped to stabilize my health. This also led me to pursue running to help keep my lungs clear. Running has become a passion of mine. I have run several marathons to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Team Boomer, and the Massachusetts General Hospital CF Center. It is my hope that participating in races will help raise awareness for CF and help us find a cure.

I currently work in finance at a hospital and have over 20 years of experience in this field. In addition, I hold a bachelor's degree in law & government from Rivier College and have been a Certified Payroll Professional. I have also been a member of the New Hampshire Cystic Fibrosis Patient and Family Advisory Council (NH CF PFAC) board for the past two years and am currently the Chair. I enjoy this role since it allows me to connect with and help advocate for the CF community.

My husband and I have been married for over 20 years and we have two dogs, Charlie and Daisy. We both enjoy running, being outside, and spending time with our families.
