My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Harrisonburg Great Strides 2026

My son, Parker, was born prematurely and just a few weeks after he was born we got the news that he had been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Not only were we managing having a newborn in the NICU, but now we had to learn about raising a child with CF. Aaron and I did not know what to expect as our life had been turned upside down. However, with the help of the CF Foundation we have felt tremendously supported and comforted to know that Parker will have such a great life with the support of the CF Foundation! We are walking to help find a cure for the life-changing disease that our son is living with and support other families who are learning about raising a child with CF.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that impacts 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?
