My daughter Finley was born with Cystic Fibrosis -- a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and many other vital organs. CF makes it harder to breathe, fight infections, gain weight, and simply live the carefree life every child deserves. What she has already endured in her short life is more than many will ever face: hospital stays, hours of treatments, countless medications, nonstop doctor's and therapy appointments, procedures, surgeries, and more. And yet, she still smiles through it all. She is the happiest, most spoiled, bravest little girl -- and she inspires us to fight harder every single day. 

Every person with CF is on a unique journey, but all still share the same truth: there is still no cure. Tremendous progress has been made, but the road ahead is still long, especially for toddlers like Finley. Rare diseases like CF don't receive the same attention or funding that others do, which is why raising awareness, advocating, and pushing for research is absolutely essential. Without continued funding, there is no science, no breakthroughs, and no hope for a cure we so desperately need. 

We walk in Great Strides because Finley -- and everyone with CF -- deserve the chance to grow up, chase their dreams, and live a long, healthy life. 
We will do anything for a cure. 

Please consider donating or walking with us. Your support means more than you know, and it brings us one step closer to the cure our little girl -- and so many others -- desperately need and deserve.
