Fundraising for Austin Great Strides 2026

This weekend is the annual Cystic Fibrosis Walk, and we need your support. Usually we fundraise for several weeks. This year, we have been dealing with a personal loss that has set us behind. But, our family members and everyone else living with CF don't get to take a day off treatment when life throws a curve ball, so neither will we!
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. We are 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.
It personally impacts our family because two of our nieces/cousins have CF. Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. Frankie (age 8) has been hospitalized several times and has a feeding tube for nutrition. Cora (age 4) was born with a bowel blockage that required surgery just after birth and suffered a bowel perforation which required an additional surgery before age two. They each take handfuls of pills and do breathing treatments multiple times a day.
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 our 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.
