My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Northern Virginia Great Strides 2026
David Hoopengardner
On May 16th I will be participating in the 2026 Northern Virginia Great Strides Walk to end Cystic Fibrosis as a member of the BHOOP TEAM. For 21 years my wife Joan and I have been organizing and walking on the BHOOP Team since our middle son, Bryan, died in 2005.
Great strides have been made in treating this disease, but no cure has been found. When Bryan was born in 1985, 50% of the children lived to age 20. Bryan died 25 days after turning 20. Today, the median age is 50. This is because friends and families have supported the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with their time, talents and treasures.
I hope you can support us this year. We will be walking on Saturday, 16 May at Ida Lee Park, Leesburg, Virginia. Sign in starts at 9:30 and the walk begins at 10:30. There will be food, music and fun! If you can't be there in person, please help us by making a donation to the BHOOP TEAM. If the link below does not work, cut and paste the URL below and it will take you to the BHOOP TEAM page. Once there, you can register to walk or make a donation.
We hope to see you there!
