My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Glastonbury Great Strides 2026

My beautiful daughter, Cecelia, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 12 days old. Since that day, my husband and I have made it our mission to raise awareness, educate, and fundraise for a cure for our daughter and all others affected by and living with this disease.
We are so proud of the brave and strong young lady Cecelia is turning into, but being Cece isn’t easy! In order for her to be HER, she sits through hours of therapies and treatments, takes lots of medicine, and has to miss school and sports for appointments. However, because of the work she puts in, she is thriving. We are so grateful for our family, friends, and amazing community to the endless support, love, and understanding they continuously give her and our family.
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.
