My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Plattsburgh Great Strides 2026
Megan Clement
Living with Cystic Fibrosis has taught me that every breath, every memory, and every moment with the people I love is something to never take for granted. There was a time when I never imagined I would be able to live the beautiful life I have today - surrounded by unconditional love, support, laughter, and hope. From a young age, I never truly believed becoming a mother was in the playing cards for me, and now being able to experience the love and joy of motherhood with our son is a blessing I carry in my heart every single day. I am endlessly grateful for my husband, my family, my friends, and every person who stands beside our fundraising team and believes in this fight with us.
Because of incredible medical advancements, so many of us are finally getting the chance to dream bigger, live fuller, and experience milestones we once feared we may never reach. But despite how far we've come, there are still so many fighting every single day, and there is still no cure. That reality is why this mission is so deeply personal to me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting this cause, believing in our journey, and helping bring hope to families like mine. Together, we are fighting for longer lives, healthier futures, and one day a cure.
