As parents of a child with CF we've learned that sometimes we must put on a happy face and charge into difficult times head on. We were settling in as a family of four when we got a call from our pediatrician's office that threw us for a loop. Charlie was 7 months old when he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.

The quicker we are able to embrace the path our lives have taken, the better for it we and HE will be. We charge on. When life is a storm, we push through it. When things get tough, we are tougher.
 

We stride to raise awareness. Awareness of this awful disease, but more importantly awareness that the disease doesn't define or keep people with CF down.

We stride to help find a cure. There have been so many advancements in the battle to fight CF, but we won't stop until there is a cure.

We stride for a fun day to celebrate Charlie.
To rally around him and support him and the twice daily treatments, the variety of pills, and for him to try and get a better understanding of the community, the family, and friends that support him.

We have an incredible support system, and we celebrate each and every person that strides with us each year.  Above all, we are grateful, and we will never let up. 

We invite you to join us at Great Strides this year.

We stride so that one day, for Charlie and all those living with Cystic Fibrosis, CF can stand for CURE FOUND.
