My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Philadelphia Great Strides
Erin Carty
Elliotte-Ellie-Chickie!!!! What a journey she has had in just the first couple years of life! And none of it would be possible without the amazing support from her village of family and friends, as well as her team at CHOP. So, thank you to everyone who has been there for every step of the way! We love you more than you know.
Ellie was diagnosed with CF at 2 weeks old. She was admitted to the hospital at 5 months old with a CF exacerbation for 2 weeks, where she was on a ventilator for 4 days in the NICU for part of that stay. Since then, Ellie has been making AMAZING strides in her journey and is growing up with an even more amazing personality.
The Fly Chickie Fly team is here to represent more than supporting Ellie. We'll be there for those who fight this fight day in and day out, and for all of those families who are right there with them. Let's do this! UNTIL IT'S DONE!
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.
