Our Great Strides Story

Our amazing daughter Dana passed away from Cystic Fibrosis 16 years ago. It seems so long ago but also seems like yesterday. We have so many wonderful memories of her! She was a bundle of love, ideas, opinions, imagination, humor, and so much more. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mommy, elementary teacher, and had a disease that didn’t define her. She was our hero.
As you know Cystic Fibrosis 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 life changing progress has been made, many challenges lie 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.
Your support helps the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fund the research and care needed to help advance a cure for this disease. While we have made siginificant progress, we still have a long way to go. We still lose precious lives to CF every year. You can help us accelerate progress. Let’s unite to bring hope and joy to those affected by CF and work toward a future where everyone can breathe easier.
Please help us carry on the memory of our amazing daughter Dana Ceretti and help to make CF stand for CURE FOUND!
