My Great Strides Story

As many of you know, in February of 2018, my sweet niece Caroline was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF affects nearly every organ in Caroline's body, most notably the lungs, pancreas and digestive system.
CF is progressive, meaning over time the symptoms of CF cause irreversible damage to the body.
Caroline completes at minimum 50 minutes of airway clearance and multiple nebulized medications daily to clear the thick sticky mucus that CF causes to build up in her lungs. In addition, she takes 26 pills daily to manage her CF. She is a FIGHTER!
Although, we have come so far in the treatment of CF symptoms and preventative care, there is still no cure and a life expectancy tied to the diagnosis.
We must find a cure!
As a grateful Aunt to a CF Fighter, I am raising funds for the CF Foundation and specifically Caroline's Dayton Great Strides team - Caroline's Crew!
Would you join me by making a donation to support cystic fibrosis research in Caroline's honor?
Until CF stands for Cure Found
