My Great Strides Story

Debbie Maxfield
My Grandson, Jaxson Cifuentes was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a newborn. He now is (almost) 8 years old.
His breathing treatments are extensive on a daily basis including treatments twice a day lasting 1/2 hour where he wears a high frequency vest that vibrates attached to a machine. The purpose is to loosen mucus from airway walls. He also takes many medications. When Jaxson turned 6 he began a new medication called Trikafta!! It's been a game changer!! Thank you to this medical advancement.
I am very passionate about fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation under Team Jax because the Foundation is what funds the research for medical advancements like his new treatment with Trikafta!!
Also we would love if you joined our team, #TeamJax our Great Stides Walk this year is May 17th, 2025 in Montrose.
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.
