My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Morgantown Great Strides 2026

Peregrin was officially diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at just one year old, though in my heart I knew from his very first sweat test what the answer would be. Even with all the incredible medical progress that’s been made, the reality of this disease is still frightening. No parent should have to wonder whether their child will grow old — yet that fear is something we live with every day.
That’s why I’m walking. I’m walking for Peregrin, for every child and adult fighting this battle, and for every family carrying the weight of hope and worry at the same time. This cause is personal, and it’s urgent.
If you’re able to donate, it would mean more than words can express. Your support brings us one step closer to a future where children like Peregrin can grow up, grow old, and live the long, full lives they deserve. ❤️
