My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Harrisonburg Great Strides 2026

Team Bentley has been walking for 12 YEARS! Bentley was diagnosed at just 3 weeks old and here we are at 13 and kicking CFs butt! Bentley is such a good kid and the best big brother, the list can go on. He plays basketball, football, and baseball. He loves playing video games with his closest friends and shooting hoops outside. We have been extremely fortunate with him fighting CF. Everyday is a battle and everyday we hope that C will stand for CURE. I (Bentleys mom) personally want to thank his family, friends, UVA team, and anyone who has ever walked and donated. It's because of you we have this HOPE.
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.
