My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Dayton Great Strides 2026
Caleb Curran
My name is Caleb and I am 5 years old. I have cystic fibrosis (and so does my mommy and Uncle Matt). My CF not only affects my lungs but also my pancreas. I'm starting evaluations to get a super major surgery called the TPIAT. During this surgery, they will take islet cells from my pancreas and inject them into my liver to hopefully take over creating insulin. They would then remove my pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and spleen. We're not sure if this surgery will happen but we're in the process of being evaluated by the whole team.
I would love for anyone to come join me during this walk! We would be happy to have you join my team!
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I'm 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.
