My Great Strides Story

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.

Our daughter, Olivia, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was just 7 days old and the last 5 years have been a journey for her and our family. What I have found during this time is that we can learn so much from our children on strength, courage, and optimism. Her daily routines consist of breathing treatments, chest therapy, and pancreatic enzymes before every meal.


Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey.

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.
