My Great Strides Story

Joshua Hillman

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, a reality that my family and I are reminded of every day. While significant progress has been made for many with CF, my brother and I have rare mutations that haven't seen the same advancements. Too many with CF still die young, and I'm walking to help change that for everyone.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic, life-shortening disease attacking vital organs, making it difficult to breathe and fight infections. This is our daily reality. Because my brother and I have rare CF mutations, we haven't benefited from all the breakthroughs others have. This makes the need for a universal cure even more critical for us and many others with less common forms of CF.

We urgently need a cure so that everyone with CF, regardless of their specific genetic makeup, has the chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you join me in the fight to end cystic fibrosis for all?

Your donation to my walk fuels crucial research, bringing us closer to a cure that works for everyone. Your support offers hope for a brighter future for all affected by CF.
