My Great Strides Story

Darcie Sanchez

Hi! I’m Darcie, the proud mom of four children, two of whom happen to have Cystic Fibrosis. My husband Mike and I have been raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for about 19 years. Great Strides holds a special place in our hearts as it was our very first CF fundraiser. Since then, we (and our team) have participated in many other ways to help find a cure for CF.

Please join us in the fight against CF and help make CF stand for CURE FOUND!

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

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.
