My Great Strides Story

26 years ago my only son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a fatal disease for which there is currently no cure. We decided shortly following Jack's diagnosis that we would do what we can 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.
We hope you will help us end cystic fibrosis.
By donating to this worthy cause, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for Jack and for everyone with CF.
