My Great Strides Story

This is all being done for my newst best friend and nephew Wyatt. Finding out at only 10 days old he had CF brought a lot of fear and unknowns into our lives. Although now at 5 months old, he is doing great and needs just minor things, we know that can all change in an instant. Knowing there are 100s of outcomes for those with CF just makes the waiting game harder for seeing where this disease takes him. I am hoping to earn some money for the CF foundation and their research for better treatments and one day a cure. Please consider donating, any amount is acceptable.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

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.

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.
