My Great Strides Story

Megan Pate
Hi! My name is Megan and I am the mother of two beautiful boys, Isaac and Finley.
When Isaac was born, we never had anticipated the journey we'd soon be on with his health. Isaac was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 10 days old when his newborn screening was flagged. Ever since then, he has been on countless medications and treatments to keep him healthy and strong.
Thankfully Isaac's life regarding cystic fibrosis has been relatively quiet. We are always on our toes because we know that could easily change at any moment.
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.
