My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Pittsburgh Great Strides

Donate

Greetings ,

I hope this finds you well. I am once again asking you to kindly consider donating to the Great Strides event in Pittsburgh. I will be walking in memory of my nephew Pete, who struggled with Cystic Fibrosis for 26 years and passed away in 2013. I am walking alongside his brother, Andy who has dealt with CF for 45 years - a true miracle for someone who wasn't supposed to see his 10th birthday. My goal this year is to raise $2,500. 


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.


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.
