My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Minneapolis Great Strides

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.
My nephew was born with CF, before that we had no idea what it was or what it consisted of. Being told that he had a life expectancy of 35yrs when he was only 3 months old was devastating. My brother and sister in law have been so strong with having to navigate this new life theirs along with all the appointments that would soon ensue for my nephew. With donations from everyone and the advancements, even though there still is no cure... the life expectancy has risen to almost 60 years old!
