Why We Walk 💜
Living with cystic fibrosis is a lot like what the world experienced during COVID—except it never ends.
It’s constant awareness of health, exposure, and risk.
It’s medications, treatments, and routines built into every single day.
It’s protecting lungs, limiting exposure, and making choices others don’t have to think about.
Even with incredible advances—new medications and CF modulators that are changing lives—we are still in a fight. These breakthroughs exist because of research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and that research must continue so no one is left behind.
We walk for those who benefit from today’s treatments.
We walk for those still waiting.
We walk for a future where CF is no longer a lifelong battle.
Every step, every donation, every share helps move that future closer.
💜 Walk with us. Fight with us. Breathe hope with us.
