My Great Strides Story
Maureen Ballard
Fundraising for Honolulu, HI Great Strides 2026
Maureen Ballard
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I continue to walk, advocate, and volunteer to help change that reality.
It means a lot to have the support of friends and family in this endeavor. In the almost 16 years since I became involved, there has been tremendous progress. But there is so much more that needs to be done. Please join me so that not only my nephew, but the thousands of people with cystic fibrosis can have fuller, healthier lives.
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.
