My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for San Diego Great Strides 2026

There’s still no cure for cystic fibrosis, but we have more reasons than ever to be hopeful! Thanks to the incredible power of community events like the Great Strides Walk, life-changing therapies have transformed how CF is treated, giving people longer, fuller lives and brighter futures than ever before. Every step we’ve taken together has fueled groundbreaking research and brought us closer to the day when cystic fibrosis is a thing of the past.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join us on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the Great Strides Walk at Liberty Station in San Diego! Together, we’ll walk to raise vital awareness and the funds needed to keep this momentum going strong until we reach our ultimate goal: a cure for every person living with CF.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs, making it harder to breathe and fight infections. Every individual’s journey with CF is unique, and while the road has been challenging, the progress we’ve already made is real and inspiring. We refuse to stop now—because every person with CF deserves the chance to live a long, healthy, and unrestricted life.
Will you walk with us? Your presence on June 6th and your support through a donation will directly fuel the research and science that turns hope into reality. Together, we have the power to end cystic fibrosis once and for all.
Let’s keep the momentum going and join us as we stride toward a future where CF stands for “Cure Found”!
