My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Milwaukee Great Strides 2026
Michelle Higgins
Raedyn was born with a genetic condition...
a shortened life expectancy...
a future lifetime of doctors, tests, labs, medications, treatments, special diets, percautions...
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.
Raedyn is a fun loving, energetic, active, comedian of a kid! Due to the advancements in treatements, medications, therapies, and overall care and understanding of CF, he is living his best life keeping as healthy as possible- for as long as possible!
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.
