My Great Strides Story

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.
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.
Cole was Diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 2 weeks old. In his battle with CF he’s had several hospitalizations ( so many, that when he was younger he thought children’s hospital was his 2nd home ) 40 sinus surgeries, multiple different procedures, picc lines, 2 port placements. He also receives IVIG treatment every 4 weeks. Cole also has Type 1 Diabetes, along with other issues. Cole keeps a positive attitude, and smile on his face no matter what he is faced with. Please consider donating to our team for the CFF so one day CF will stand for Cure Found.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
