My Great Strides Story

Over the past decade, the landscape of CF care has transformed in ways we never imagined. Thanks to groundbreaking advancements in treatment, including the development of life-changing medications like Trikafta, Symdeko, Orkambi, and Kalydeco, people with CF now have access to therapies that target the root cause of the disease, not just the symptoms. Because of these innovations, the average life expectancy for someone with CF has increased from 27 to 57 years—a statistic that once seemed impossible.

But there is still work to be done. While these treatments offer hope, they are not a cure. That’s why we’re walking—to fund research, raise awareness, and support those living with CF every step of the way. Whether you join us in person, donate, or help spread the word, your participation makes a meaningful difference.

Here’s how you can help:
Walk with us on May 10th at Q2 Stadium.

Thank you for your support and for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found!

With gratitude,
The Bercen Family
