My Great Strides Story

When I was in elementary school, I knew a girl who had cystic fibrosis. I was aware of what this cystic fibrosis was and thought that it was something people died of young. But thankfully, that is changing.
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.
In college, I met Rob. Rob has CF and we graduated from Florida State in 2010. Since then, Rob graduated with his PhD from Notre Dame and is a professor of theology at a college. He is absolutely thriving. He started a modulator therapy in 2019 and has not been in the hospital since then.
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?
