My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Fort Worth Great Strides 2026
Jedd Williams
Thank you for being here. If you haven't already, please take a couple of minutes to watch the short video below for a little information about our journey with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Your support, love, and advocacy mean the world to us as we continue to drive awareness and raise funds to help find a cure.
Watching that video reminds us exactly why we are walking. Every person born with Cystic Fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. For Emily, living with CF means the constant challenge of staying on top of her daily medications and treatments, managing her diabetes, and navigating the physical and psychological hurdles she faces every single day.
For those who may not know, CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage.
Right now, there is no cure for CF, and too many people still lose their battle far too young. We are walking to help change that reality.
While incredible progress has been made in recent years, a long road still lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that Emily—and everyone battling CF—has the chance to live a long, full, and healthy life without limits.
Will you help us end Cystic Fibrosis?
By donating to our fundraising goal, you have the power to directly advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward: a cure for everyone with CF.
Thank you for standing with Emily's Hope!
