My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Pawtucket Great Strides

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality for my son, Cael, who is now 19 years old studying Environmental Biology at Providence College.
Cael was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at four months old. He was failing to thrive and losing weight. As soon as he was diagnosed he was prescribed the literally life-saving treatments and medications that are a direct result of donations to Great Strides.
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.
