My Great Strides Story- Asta, Kelsey, Dewayne

Fundraising for Seattle Great Strides
Dewayne Simpson
When Asta was born in 2021 our family became a CF family. It was then that we dove into learning all we could about the disease so that we could best support her.
We are so fortunate to have an incredible medical team that also supports her and have access to medication that helps maintain a higher quality of life. But with over 2000 mutations of CF, there are still many people who aren't as fortunate. While great strides have been made to extend the quality of life for those with CF, there is still a long distance to go.
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.
