GREAT STRIDES 2026 is officially kicked off!  We are just as committed to this fundraiser as we were 35 years ago. 

**Committed to supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in
   their quest for a CURE for Cystic Fibrosis.
**Committed to raising money to support the hard-working
   scientists and researchers in their efforts to improve the lives
   of people living with CF through medication and treatments. 
**Committed to our daughter and others with CF to never give
   up on the possibility of a real CURE. 

We are grateful every single day for the progress that has made Alyson’s life better and richer. It is because of these advancements that Alyson and husband Jeremy were able to have a beautiful baby girl this very month! 
  We thank you in advance for your heart-felt donations. We feel fortunate to be surrounded by loving friends and family members who have been supporting our cause for 35 amazing years! We could not do it without you…thank you from the bottom of our hearts. <3

        ****************************************************

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.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to our 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.
