My Great Strides Story

Hi my name is Dean. I am 9 years old. I am in 3rd grade at Cherokee Elementary. I love to swim with my swim team, LAKY Stingrays. I love going outside and biking and playing with my friends. I love fast cars. My favorite food is Japanese ramen. I love my family and my cute cat Mochi. I also have cystic fibrosis. Because of my CF, I have to take a lot of medicine, and I have to do my shakey vest and nebulizer every single day, which I hate. I have long doctor visits and sometimes I have to get a blood draw, which I also hate. But CF is not going to define me! My family and I fight to find a cure for CF. I join clinical trials and we raise money each year for the CF Foundation. Will you help support me this year to help find a cure for CF?
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.
Thanks for your support!
