My Great Strides Story

Thanks everyone for visiting my page!
Every year my family and friends come together to walk in hopes to raise money for a cure for CF.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. We hope to change that!
To give you some background, CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates my lungs and digestive system. CF can make it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
They say every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently.
Let me tell you about my journey
I was diagnosed shortly before my 3rd birthday. Everyday, I have treatments and routines that I have to do every morning and every evening. No exceptions. I have medication I have to take with everything I eat to help my body process the food correctly and absorb the nutrients there. If I get sick, it can hit me harder than most, so I have to be extra careful.
A little more about me.. I love my family, my friends, and my dogs, and my bunny too! I love playing soccer and softball. I love going skiing and snowboarding, swimming in the summer, any arts and crafts project, listening to music, and so much more!
I strive to live my life as normal as possible as I won't let this disease define me.
For every $1 donated, 97 cents goes to research.
That research, funded by the support you all continue to give, is the reason I have the current medication I am on that helps to give me as normal of a life that's possible.
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, including me!
