My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Wakefield Great Strides

Donate

Team Emily's Hope was created over 20 years ago as a vehicle for fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  We have walked in North Andover, Wakefield, Haverhill, Newburyport, and virtually.  We invite you to wear your Emily's Hope t shirt and walk at your favorite location during the month of May or join us in Wakefield on May 10th.  May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness month!  Send and post pictures.  We are again offering the famous, Emily's Hope Mega Tea at Monarch Nutrition in Haverhill as another way to build awareness and fundraise.  Let us know if you need a t shirt.  As always, we thank you for your support and positive vibes.

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?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
EMILY UPDATE:  Emily has been in Spain for a semester abroad; a dream that she has had for years.  She is finishing up her junior year of college at UMass Amherst and has been studying Business Management and Hospitality.  She has worked tirelessly at three jobs to make her abroad experience a reality.  We are so proud of her.  She continues to take two daily does of the miracle drug, Symdeko and is followed by Dr. Tom Martin at Children's Boston.
