My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Washington, DC Great Strides

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I'm walking to help change that reality.
Danny Whaley is the reason I became involved with fundraising for CF. Our dads have been friends since they were very young and that lifelong friendship carried over to their kids. Danny and I were always close and had a bond that I still can't accurately describe to this day - there was never a question who my son would be named for. He challenged me, inspired me and motived me. Treatments have come so far with improving the quality of life of CF patients everywhere thanks to donations, furthering research and technology. I only wish they could have helped Danny. My life changed the day I lost him but I never lost the strength he gave me and the desire to cure the disease that took him.
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.
