My Great Strides Story

Karen Maccrate

This is my 14th year fundraising for Great Strides. I started when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. My 1st was just a little younger than Reid. I would walk to the ends of the earth to help my kids. I felt this was such a small way that I could help Dana so maybe she wouldn't have to walk so far.

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.
