My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Paramus Great Strides 2026
Seneca Parnofiello
My amazing dada, John, lives with cystic fibrosis every single day. Because of incredible advancements in science and treatment, my dad isn’t just living with this disease—he’s thriving as a loving, devoted father who shows me every day what strength and determination look like.
There is still no cure for cystic fibrosis, but the progress made so far has given daughters like me more time with my daddy, more hope, and more memories that mean everything to me. I’m raising funds to help change the future for my dad and for everyone living with CF.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes it hard to breathe and fight off dangerous infections, often leading to serious lung damage over time. Every person with cystic fibrosis faces their own challenges, and while treatments have improved, far too many people still live with uncertainty about what the future holds. We need a cure—so every person with CF can have the chance to live a long, full life.
By donating to my fundraising goal, you are helping support the research and discoveries that have already given families like mine so much hope—and that will one day lead us to a cure.
