My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Boston Great Strides 2026
Jennifer Albrecht
Dear friends and family,
IAN’s ARMY is back and ready to walk again in the annual Great Strides Walk to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Thanks to your generous outpouring of support, last year we met our $20,000 goal (incredible!!), and we’re hoping we can do it again. Let’s go team! We got this.
On May 17th at Carson Beach in Boston, we will lace up our sneakers and join hundreds of other CF fighters and friends. We hope you will continue to stick by us as we continue to push toward the greatest goal of all: a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Ian was just 19 days old when we learned he had Cystic Fibrosis, a rare, progressive disease that results in the formation of thick mucus that builds up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other vital organs of the body. Learning that Ian would likely struggle with severe respiratory and digestive problems throughout his life, as well as other complications such as infections and diabetes, was frightening. We quickly learned, however, that CF research was advancing therapeutic possibilities that he would eventually benefit from.
Today, fourteen years later, Ian is living strong and healthy thanks to Trikafta, a CF medication that treats the underlying cause of the disease. Trikafta and Alyftrek and are now reaching more people with CF than ever before. This is excellent progress to celebrate but we cannot stop now.
We hope you will support this cause by making a donation today to IAN’s ARMY, and we hope you’ll consider registering with our team and walking with us on May 17th along the water at Carson Beach in Boston.
Until CF stands for "cure found."

Ian (Army General), Marin, Jen and Brian
