My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Wilmington Great Strides
Cassie Crumpton
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I'm walking to help change that reality.
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.
Our son, SAWYER, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 12 weeks old. When Matt and I received Sawyer's diagnosis, the fear and concern we felt for our son was overwhelming, to say the least. Shortly after, we learned of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and we knew we had to be involved in some way!
This year, we again are participating in Wilmington Great Strides on Saturday, May 3rd, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The CF Foundation has fueled groundbreaking CF research and care that SAWYER DIRECTLY BENEFITS from!!! The median predicted survival age for someone born with CF has recently risen to age 53 , a substantial jump from a decade ago when the life expectancy was 38. While we celebrate this progress, we ultimately dream of a CURE for Sawyer and thousands more living with this disease!!
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. Again, 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 make our dream of a CURE a reality? We dream that SAWYER can have a long fulfilling life, free from the burden of this disease!!!!
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.
WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE,
