My Great Strides Story

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I'm walking to help change that reality for my daughter Emma.

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.

Thick, sticky mucus cause by Cystic Fibrosis can block the pancreatic ducts hindering the release of digestive enzymes and leading to pancreatic insufficiency, malabsorption and potentially, cystic fibrosis related diabetes.

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. 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 Emma's fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward - a cure for me and everyone with CF.
