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.


Here's a little note from Jadzia - The Princess Warrior herself!
-------------
Hi!
I am Jadzia. I am 11 years old. I like to sing, dance, and paint! Those are my favorite things to do. I also LOVE pancakes. I have a sister and one brother. I like that they play games with me. I also have three dogs and I love them...ALOT.
I want to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because, I want to find a cure. God made me and He is wonderful. I hope that you will know about Jesus!
Here is a video when I was 4 years old that shows what a day in a life with CF looks like for me....

The things that are different now is that I take Trikafta and Hypertonic Saline daily and lots of other good supplements!
Goodbye!
