My Great Strides Story: Annaliese

Christina Barone

I walk for my daughter, Annaliese, who is living with cystic fibrosis. She is a beautiful little girl, inside and out! She takes about 30 pills a day just to stay healthy. She must take enzymes with every meal and snack, just to digest it. She needs to do respiratory treatments at least twice daily, just to breathe more easily. Despite all of this, she has never complained. She does everything every other child does, never letting CF hold her back. Annaliese lives her best life every day, and knowing her is to feel true happiness. She truly is my HERO!
 
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 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.
