Fundraising for Washington, DC Great Strides 2026

Hello friends!!
My niece Ava Leigh is a CF warrior! She is brilliant and beautiful and tough as nails!! We walk to raise funds in support of Ava as Ava's Avengers!!
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. We are 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.
My family and I would also love if you could join us for the 5k walk ~ its in DC this year and we would love to see you!
Thank you for your time and your support as we lift up and fight for Ava and all those living with CF!
