My Great Strides Story

Caitlyn O'Connor

I was diagnosed with CF at two weeks of age. While I have been blessed with pretty good health overall, and lots of advancements have been made, there still is no cure. Too many people still die of CF. 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.  

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 and joining our Caitlyn's Crusaders team, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
