My Great Strides Story

Hello Everyone! It’s our 13th Annual participation in the CF Foundation Great Strides Walk and fundraiser. We did a great job last year but need to raise the bar to help find the cure! We are reaching out again for the 2025 Portland Great Strides walk for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). We are looking forward to the walk this year on Saturday, May 18th at Oaks Park!
We need your help to make our fundraising goal! Your efforts will be used to support the Foundation’s mission of finding a cure and improving the lives of those with CF (like mine). Your gift is 100% tax deductible and the CFF is rated 4 out of 4 stars by Charity Navigator, meaning more of your contribution goes to the cause rather than administration. Please help us by donating to our team.
I will be celebrating 6 years post Double Lung Transplant at the time of the walk! That’s awesome. I continue to be doing miraculously! We are grateful to the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC), with Dr Mulligan and Team, and especially my Donor Family. While my transplant has been a success it is not an answer and more people need your help. Previous donations aided in the research that released the new drug treatment of Trikafta that is also greatly improving the lives of 90% of those inflicted with CF. And we don’t want to forget the other 10% waiting for their chance at a new treatment option too. Please help us fight the fight!
Donating is easy and secure. ANY amount that you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Your support matters! Please don’t forget about Company Matching too!
Thank you for supporting Kathy and I and our Great Strides fundraising efforts. CF should stand for CURE FOUND not Cystic Fibrosis.
All our love and gratitude,
Willem and Kathy Wery
