Cristina Pereda

Hi! I am Olivia Pereda a first grader with Cystic Fibrosis. I am a very happy little girl that loves theatre class and having fun with my family and friends. I find it important to fundraise for Cystic Fibrosis because I would love for the community of CF patients to find a cure and for all who suffer to be able to take modulators for a better and longer life. This community is filled with love and support and I am blessed to have the hard work of the foundation working for a cure daily.

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.
