My Great Strides Story

There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis and our daughter Lucy is a fighter. She was diagnosed with CF at 6 days old, and we are walking to raise funds and awareness for her, and all other children who experience this life changing disease.
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.

Lucy had an incredibly challenging first of year life with 6 admissions, and although she is now taking the life changing modulator Trikafta, she continues to struggle with chronic illness and the impact of this disease on her daily life.
While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease, specifically those where modulators aren't an option. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
