We invite you to take part in Great Strides by joining our team. We promise, you belong here! This event promises to be a fun-filled day where you can help advance the care and research needed to cure cystic fibrosis. By walking with us, you’ll enjoy not only the natural camaraderie (yes, lots of laughter!), but the important impact we are making together.
While the CF Foundation has made incredible progress, not everyone with CF can benefit from existing therapies and we still need a cure. This will require time, funding, and persistence – but with you on our team – we are ready to go the distance.
Our team is committed to providing every person with CF the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Will you join us?
Gabby was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in 2006. She is an active healthy 19-year-old who doesn’t let CF hold her back. Since her diagnosis we have made it a priority to do everything in our power to raise funds to find a cure for this disease, so she can live a long and healthy life. Though we don’t often talk about life expectancy it’s important to realize that a shortened life expectancy comes along with a CF diagnosis. Prior to 1950, kids born with CF rarely saw their 5th birthday but with research & treatment development kids born in 1960 had a life expectancy of 15 (Gabby’s current age). When Gabby was born the average life expectancy was 33 and today it’s 61. Though the life expectancy is improving through the development of new treatments, we need to keep fundraising until there is a CURE!
