My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Gloucester County Great Strides
Emily Maffucci
I have been fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for almost my whole life! I love my brother and I want him to have the best chance for health and happiness.
With the birth of his son Caspian in 2023, Greg wants to do everything he can to stay healthy so he can enjoy the milestones in Caspian's life.
Our past fundraising events have led to the development of twelve therapies that help CF patients, one of which has directly benefited Greg.
We have to keep working so all people with CF can have an option to help their specific type of CF.
We also have to keep funding new treatments so people with CF have the best chance of controlling or, better yet, eliminating CF.
My daughter Sophie could carry a recessive gene for CF, and if her partner has it too, it means a future child of hers might be faced with a cystic fibrosis diagnosis.
I hope by that time we will have made CF stand for Cure Found!
