Walk with our team to Cure Cystic Fibrosis
Krista L. Baker & Finley Anderson
Fundraising for Spokane Great Strides 2026
Krista L. Baker & Finley Anderson
I walk in memory of Krista L. Baker and in honor of Finley Anderson. Krista didn’t have the opportunity to benefit from recent breakthroughs in CF treatment, but with your support, I believe that Finley can live a full life that isn’t defined by CF.
KRISTA L. BAKER, 20, a Spokane native, lost her battle with CF in 2000 while awaiting a double-lung transplant. While time ran out for her hope to live, she became a successful cornea donor, improving sight for two young men. Remarkedly, in the 26 years since her passing, over 17 meds have been developed to improve the lives of those with CF, none of which were available to CF patients then.
FINLEY ANDERSON is a feisty 7-year-old who loves art, soccer, squishies, and tormenting her big brother. Her personality shines through her infectious laugh, devious smile and zest for life. She is thriving due to Trikafa but still spends over an hour each day managing her CF through nebulized medicines and breathing treatments. She wishes that we will find a cure in her lifetime.
While the CF Foundation has made incredible progress, not everyone with CF can benefit from existing therapies and we still need a cure. This will require time, funding, and persistence – but with you on our team – we are ready to go the distance.
Our team is committed to providing every person with CF the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Will you join us?
