My Great Strides Story
Frances Schienebeck
Dear Family and Friends,
It is time once again for the yearly Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides fundraiser and we are hoping you can help us out again this year.Last year was a great year and thanks to your help. We had a perfect day with many Friends and Family to join us on our walk. We have been fundraising for the last 12 years raising over $85,000 and spreading the word on how we can help a great cause and get together for a walk as well. Our team has been the top fundraising team for many years and we are very fortunate to be able to raise money for the CF foundation to help someday say we have a cure for CF. If you don’t already know much about Cystic Fibrosis (CF) it is a life-threatening genetic disease that Adalyn lives with every day. There have been many advances in medication through the years that Adalyn has been able to receive which has kept her out of the hospital. All the money raised at the Great Stride walks help make this possible.
Adalyn is now 12 years old and is full of life. Addy played basketball this winter and had a great time. She was able to score a few points to help her team out. Addy was also granted her Make A Wish trip to Disney this past year. We were able to go over Christmas and it was so beautiful! Addy had a great time at the parks and swimming at Give Kids the World. This place is a special villa for Make A Wish kids. Words can’t express how grateful we were for this getaway for our family.
Last year we raised $7,200 from the wonderful donations from people like you! Thank you! We would like to try to pass that up this year with your help, we would like to collect money by May1st 2024 if possible that would be greatly appreciated.
Please consider making a donation of $10, $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford to help support our team and remember all donations are tax deductible.
The walk will be in Marshfield at the Zoo on Saturday May 4th 2024 at 11am if you would like to join us. Please make sure to register-yourself and anyone else that will be walking that day. You can also donate under your own name if signed up to walk.

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.
