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.

Having a mom with CF, I grew up knowing that CF was a death sentence. I watched her struggle with her health every day, and it was never a question of if she would die young, it was a matter of when. I had 11 amazing years with her before she passed, and I will always be grateful for that time, but it will never be enough. I'm grateful my children are healthy and won't witness the daily struggles with CF, but also it kills me that they'll never know their Nana.
I'm walking to spread awareness and raise money to find a cure. My grandparents lost 3 daughters to Cystic Fibrosis and I want CF to stand for CureFound, so no family has to go through that again.

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.
