My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Charlotte Great Strides
Jessica, Cody & Leland Langolf
Thank you for supporting Team Violet!
It's that time of year again! We will be participating in the Great Strides Charlotte Walk for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on September 20th.
As many of you know, this cause is very close to my heart because my lifelong best friend has a 4-year-old daughter named Violet, who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis shortly after birth. Alexa and Tony, Violet's parents, were devastated and heartbroken about what the future might hold for their newborn. However, with the incredible support of Levine Children’s Hospital and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, they were educated about the disease and the best plan of action for the future. Since Violet was born, there have been significant advancements in treatment options, and the average life expectancy for those with Cystic Fibrosis has increased to 61 years (for reference, in 1995, it was only 28 years).
Thanks to your support, along with the efforts of amazing healthcare professionals and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, breakthroughs and miracles happen every day, giving hope to those like Violet. She is starting Pre-K this year and is thriving every single day!
Please consider supporting "Team Violet" by donating what you can (no amount too small!)

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.
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.
