My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Suffolk County Great Strides 2026
Michele Roberts
Hi everyone! The Suffolk County Great Strides walk to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is Sunday, May 17, at the Holtsville Wildlife and Ecology Center. Team Victoria will be participating in our 18th walk and raising funds to find a cure for CF. Please join us at the walk and/or make a donation to this very worthy cause that is near and dear to our hearts. While there have been many great advances in research and medications to manage this disease, there is still no cure. There are still too many people in the CF community who are not able to benefit from a miracle modulator like Trikafta or Alyftrek. Thank you as always for your support, from near and afar. With gratitude, Michele, John, and Victoria

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?
You have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward - a cure for everyone with CF.
