My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for Houston Great Strides
Brooke Weatherford
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that shortens life expectancy and severely affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes breathing difficult and fighting off life-threatening infections even harder — often leading to serious lung damage and respiratory failure.
Everyone with CF faces their own unique journey, with different challenges and triumphs. While medical advances have brought us a long way, many still live with the daily struggles of this disease. We need a cure — now more than ever — so that every person with CF can have the chance at a long, healthy life.
We’ve made great progress, but there’s still so much more to do.
I’ve always been open about my journey with CF, and I wouldn’t be here today without the incredible support of my amazing doctors, the unwavering love and support of my family and friends, and the groundbreaking advancements made by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through therapeutic drugs and medications.
By supporting my fundraising goal, you can help accelerate the research and innovation needed to turn hope into reality — and bring us closer to a cure for all.
Just Keep Breathin’ 🥀
