My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Alexandria 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.
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.
Ben and I are so thankful Whitney is benefiting tremendously from new treatments for CF. She is now 23, happy and thriving, finishing her last year of law school at University of Houston. Without the advancement in new CF treatments, this reality may not have been possible. There are many more new treatments being researched including improved enzymes, antibiotics, and genetic therapies to further improve the quality of life of people living with CF.
