Ella's Express Great Stride Story

Fundraising for Sarasota Great Strides

This year we are walking again to help raise money to continue our fight for a cure. There is currently STILL no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. We're going to keep walking to help change that reality.
Ella started her 3rd year at University of South Florida in Health Sciences. She is doing great in school and is feeling healthy, for the most part, as she continues to do her treatments and care for herself (as far as I know). She makes and gets herself to her own appointments, though I still like to go with her when I can. She's on a new medication that seems to make her feel pretty good. We owe that to most of you who have continued to support us for that past 20 years. Thank you. I hope you will consider continuing yet again. We are getting close to a cure and we believe we WILL get a cure for CF in Ella's lifetime.
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 major progress has been made in treating this disease and many are living longer and healthier lives. We still 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.
