Fundraising for Baltimore Great Strides 2026
Tori Ruark
Team Roaring with Rory is back! We are kicking off 2026 with efforts to fundraise $6500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Many of you know and love Rory and many of you know that Rory has Cystic Fibrosis. Though he is a healthy, rambunctious, funny, and an extreme animal lover-cystic fibrosis impacts his day to day life. Each day he does 2- 30 minute vest airway clearance therapies, takes over 12 capsules of digestive enzymes a day, and takes two daily doses of Trikafta all just to stay healthy day to day. Also with CF, he has a team of incredible doctors that he meets with quarterly, gets bloodwork quarterly, and X-rays as needed. All of this is a lot, but this is Rory's normal.
My goal in life is to be a good mama to my babies. I will fundraise, call senators, and spread the word about CF so that CF will soon mean cure found. I want Rory to continue to be as healthy as he is now and with fundraising it will continue to help us find a path to a cure for CF!
On May 14 Great Strides Baltimore takes place at the Maryland Zoo. I'd love for you to fundraise along side me and join us at the walk!
Until CF means Cure Found!
