My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Fort Worth Great Strides 2026

There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality. This year marks my 12th year walking in the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Walk, and my heart is full as I reflect on this journey. As the grandmother of a beautiful granddaughter, Elaina, living with Cystic Fibrosis, I've seen firsthand the strength, resilience, and courage that she - and so many others - show every day!
This cause is deeply personal to me, and each step I take is a step closer to a cure. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of those affected by CF.
Here's to hope, progress, and the power of community!
Thanks!
