Anna was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth where at the time, life expectancy for such a diagnosis was in the teens. As science and medicine have evolved, Anna has done more than overcome adversity and survive, Anna has thrived as a leader advocating for change.

 

Anna Payne is an experienced leader for our community, ready to lead on day one. In 2019, Anna was first elected to the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Rare Disease Council and founder of the Bucks County Cystic Fibrosis Alliance non-profit raising money and her personal story to advocate for members of the Cystic Fibrosis and rare disease community for years.

“In July of 2021, life handed me a curveball. At the young age of 34, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon Kancer (I spell Kancer with a “k” because we give so much power to the “c” word and I want to show how we can take that power back), I watched as my community rallied around me as I began treatment. I immediately started to work on how my experience and story could help others.

Over the past 2 years, I have partnered with kancer organizations to help advocate for lowering the screening age for colonoscopies, and encourage others to be their own fierce advocates for their healthcare needs in the doctor's office. I’m so very grateful to even be here today to do that. I feel it is a badge of honor that I do not take lightly. I use my voice to honor those who are no longer with us and to those who are continuing to take power away from kancer through education and advocacy. Now, I’m ready to use my voice for everyone in my community.”
