My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Columbus Great Strides 2026

I have been fundraising for CF since my cousin Lahna was diagnosed at 22 months old. She turned 22 this year! Through the years of fundraising there have been great improvements with treatments not just for Lahna but all CF fighters. We will continue to raise money until one day CF can stand for "cure found".
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.
