My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Seattle Great Strides
Lisa Kopenhefer
Dear family and friends,
I am walking this year in the Seattle Great Strides event for cystic fibrosis as Team- Georgia on my mind.
Some of you may know my granddaughter Georgia was diagnosed in March 2025 with cystic fibrosis at 3 weeks old.
She began therapeutic treatments right away and is currently a happy thriving baby girl.
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s largest national fundraising event is Great Strides, with walks being held throughout the United States! Great Strides Seattle is Sunday May 18th ,noon at the Seattle Center.
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.
Thank you,
Lisa Kopenhefer
