My Great Strides Story

Erica Tharrington

I am fundraising in memory of my mother, Rhonda Lewis. She was just 56 years old when she passed in 2016 which at the time was considered a long life for a person with CF. However, at 27 years old it was absolutely heartbreaking to lose my mom and I would move mountains to have just one more minute with her. So, I will continue her fight until CF stands for cure found.

Notably, in the 4 years that I have worked in CF research the life expectancy has increased to 61 years. This increase can be attributed to the advances in care as a result of research funded by the cystic fibrosis foundation. In short, your donations no matter the amount have an impact. If you have the means I'd greatly appreciate your support!
