My Great Strides Story

Many of you are familiar with our family’s journey with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). For those who may not know, our youngest son, Adam, was diagnosed with CF at the age of two. He was undiagnosed in his early twenties — a long and complicated story that’s too much to share here.
As a family, we continue to have a deep and unwavering passion for finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis for all those affected by this disease. We will not stop raising the critical funds needed to support the research that is essential to finding a cure.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF die young. I’m 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 my 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.
If you are able, please consider supporting this cause. Every donation — big or small — makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for standing with us and for everyone living with Cystic Fibrosis.💙
