Our Great Strides Story

Susan & Milton Koch

Our grandson, Jude, loves soccer, skiing, basketball, and  swimming ... just like most boys who are almost 13!  And he is able to enjoy all of these activities because of people like you, who helped by donating money to our Great Strides fund!  The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation developed medications and established care centers to aid CF patients.  There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, but many scientists and medical professionals are working on a cure. We are walking to help change that reality.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.  Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to our fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
