WELCOME TO TEAM STEPS FOR SUMMER 2025!
 

Thank you for visiting our Great Strides 2025 fundraising page! Our team was created in honor of our youngest daughter, Summer, who was born with cystic fibrosis (CF) in 2009. CF is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system, causing persistent lung infections and limiting the ability to breathe over time.
 

Despite the daily challenges CF brings, Summer remains incredibly dedicated to her health. Her routine includes daily breathing treatments, pancreatic enzymes with every meal, and occasional antibiotics to help fight off secondary infections like pseudomonas.
 

For the past 15 years, our family has proudly participated in Great Strides in Spokane, raising awareness and funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. While we are not walking this year due to personal and family reasons, we are excited to announce a special passion fundraiser coming in late summer or early fall! It will be a fun, family-themed event to support Team Steps for Summer and continue our mission of helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
 

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to sharing more details soon!
 

With gratitude,
Team Steps for Summer & Family 💜
