My Great Strides Story

August Schuster

August Schuster was born on April 8, 2024.  At eight days old he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis through the heel prick newborn screening. From that moment August has been endured a lot, but he continues to persevere everyday. 

Cystic Fibrosis is treated mostly through medications, and routines such as chest percussion therapy, and nebulizer treatments.  The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has been a huge part of these treatments and medications being what they are today.  The fight against Cystic Fibrosis is not done yet, we still have a long way to go in treatments being available for all patients with Cystic Fibrosis. 

Thank you for your support!

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

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.
