My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Washington, DC Great Strides
Amanda Hopper
Amanda’s Hopping Friends in DC are on the move! 🐸💚
I’m walking to support the fight against cystic fibrosis (CF) and to help continue the amazing progress that’s already been made. CF is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, making it hard to breathe and fight infections.
I’m incredibly thankful that new medications have changed my life in ways I never thought possible, but I know that not everyone with CF has had the same experience. That is why I’m committed to raising funds to keep advancing research and making life-changing treatments available to everyone who needs them – and ultimately, finding a cure.
Last year was my first time leading a Great Strides team, and I set a small goal of $300, thinking it was a good place to start – but thanks to the incredible DC family I’ve built here, we crushed that goal and raised $1,300! 🎉 It meant so much to see how many people came together to support this cause, and I know we can do it again (and go even bigger this year!).
Will you join us in making a difference?
Every little bit counts, and even the smallest donation brings us one step closer to a future where everyone with CF can live longer, healthier lives. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing my page with others is just as powerful.
I’d love to see you there cheering us on – let’s hop to it and make a change together! 🐸✨
