My Great Strides Story

Hi! My name is Nora! I am a 6th grader at Cherokee Elementary. Some of my favorite things are: swimming for the Lakota YMCA Stingrays, crocheting, hanging out with my friends, boba tea, Japanese ramen, and relaxing at home with my family. My younger brother Dean has cystic fibrosis. Sometimes, because of his CF, we cannot do certain things if he is sick, or we have to be extra careful with germs. Sometimes I cannot play with Dean because he's busy doing his breathing treatments. But he's my brother and best friend and I try to be a good big sister by supporting him and helping make him feel better when he is down and sad, or when he is stuck to his vest machine. My family and I raise money each year for the CF Foundation to help find better medicines and treatments for Dean, and hopefully one day, we will help find a cure for CF. But we cannot do it alone! Will you join us this year and support our cause to 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!
