My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for St. Cloud Great Strides

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.
Shortly after his birth, my grandson Eli was diagnosed with CF. I stride for Eli, family friend Mackenzie, and all affected by CF so that the mission for a cure continues until the mission is completed. Until that time, I stride for the continued development of therapies that allow those affected by CF to breathe easy.

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?
