My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Buffalo Great Strides 2026

Unfortunately, there is still no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Though there have been tremendous successes in developing treatment options that drastically improve and extend the lives of some people living with this disease, it is not a cure.
As many of you know our daughter Christine died from CF at age 22. She proudly participated in drug trials beginning at a very young age and continued for her entire life to help make future treatments possible. Sadly, Christine wasn't able to take advantage of these current medicines that she helped create. We want to prevent other families from having to suffer the pain of losing a child or family member to this disease. Our hope is to have someone, someday say, "I used to have CF".
We are continuing in the work and vision of Christine by fundraising to help find a cure. Please donate any amount to help us along in this endeavor. If you can walk with us, we would love to have you join us on May 17th in Williamsville. Donate and/or register here to join with Beaners Bunch to continue to progress. Your support is essential to the success of finding a cure. We have witnessed the positive impact that The CF Foundation has on families affected by CF. Let's make sure we keep the momentum going! Let's find a cure!
