My Great Strides Story

Heather Paulson

Fundraising for Gig Harbor Great Strides 2026

Donate

Heather Paulson

Dear Friends and Family,

I’m reaching out to invite you to be part of something deeply meaningful to our family—a fundraiser walk to support the fight against cystic fibrosis.

Our daughter Lily, was born with CF, and from the very beginning, her journey was a constant fight. Yet, against all odds, she has not only stayed healthy—she has thrived. She graduated college last May, playing NCAA college soccer and has become a strong, successful young adult who inspires us every single day.

Her story is one of resilience, determination, and hope. But we know that not every family’s journey looks the same. That’s why we walk—for those still fighting, for families who need hope, and for a future where cystic fibrosis is no longer a life-limiting disease.

We would be honored to have you join us. Whether you walk alongside us, donate, or simply help spread the word, your support truly makes a difference. Together, we can move closer to better treatments—and one day, a cure.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us!


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.

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.
