My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Triangle Great Strides 2026

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality especially for our sons and myself! We didn't see CF as part of our futures but since this is where we are we plan to support and fight.
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?

My fight with Cystic Fibrosis seems new but looking back it was a long time coming. I have had health issues for many years. While I have always been an active and energetic person there have been times that it was a real battle to keep going. I have had severe sinus issues for years. After 5 surgeries I finally met a doctor that took things seriously and while I was devastated by the answer it at least gave me a way to move forward. From there the even more devastating diagnosis that both of our sons have CF as well rocked our family. We are fighters, though! We have accepted the therapies and things that we must do to keep healthy and we do our best not to let this slow us down much! We wont let CF win!
