My Great Strides Story

Carrie Tonski

Fundraising for Tampa Bay Great Strides 2026

Donate

Carrie Tonski

I am walking for the first time this year for someone very special — Drew, he is Tom's sweet 3-year-old grandson, who lives with cystic fibrosis.
 

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. Even at such a young age, children like Drew face daily treatments, medications, and challenges most of us can’t imagine. Despite it all, he is an amazing little boy with so much life, strength, and joy.
 

While there has been important progress in treatment and research, there is still no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF still face an uncertain future. I’m walking to help change that — for Drew and for every family affected by this disease.

If you’re able, please consider donating to support research and advancements that bring us closer to a cure and to longer, healthier lives for people with CF. Every donation, no matter the amount, truly makes a difference.
 

Thank you for supporting this cause. ❤️
