My Great Strides Story

In 2020, I lost my big brother, Denver, at just 21 years old to Cystic Fibrosis. Denver was a light to everyone who knew him — his infectious smile, boundless energy, and kind heart made him unforgettable. He lived his life to the fullest, never letting his illness define him. Despite the challenges he faced every day, Denver never gave up and always fought with everything he had. He was a true CF warrior, showing courage and resilience that inspired all who were lucky enough to know him. 💙

Sadly, there is still no cure for Cystic Fibrosis, and we continue to lose too many amazing people to this disease.

This year, I’ve decided to do something to help change that. On May 3rd, I’ll be walking in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s charity walk in Knoxville, TN, to raise money for research that could one day lead to a cure. This cause is incredibly close to my heart, and I want to honor Denver’s memory by contributing to the fight against CF in a meaningful way.

Denver was more than just my brother; he was a fighter, a friend, and a source of inspiration to all of us. He taught me what it meant to live with courage and joy, no matter the circumstances. He believed in the power of hope, and that’s what I’m holding onto now — the hope that we can find a cure, so no one else has to lose their loved ones to CF.

If you would like to help, donations are open, and any amount you can contribute would mean the world to me, and to so many others whose lives are affected by this disease. Your support will help fund critical research and bring us one step closer to a cure. If you feel so inclined, you can donate through the link below.

Thank you so much for your love, support, and for helping to spread awareness. Let’s keep pushing for a world without CF, just like Denver would have wanted. 💙💛
