My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Kansas City Great Strides

Donate

April Biggs

Hello. You have arrived at my personal fundraising page for the 2025 Great Strides Walk to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 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 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. As you may know, I reached respiratory failure in 2004, but was graced with a life-saving double lung transplant. 

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.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and considering donating to this wonderful organization - one that has funded so much research that has led to longer lives for all of us with CF. 

In Gratitude,
April
