My Great Strides Story

Thirty years ago in January, we started our battle for a Cure for Cystic Fibrosis(CF). As many of you know, we have 2 sons who live with CF and CF-related diabetes.There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. We're walking to find a cure for our sons and all of those with CF and 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, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward - a cure for everyone with CF.

Please walk with us for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis on Saturday, May 17th in Lancaster, PA at Overlook Park or donate to help our cause. It would also be helpful if you shared this post to spread the word. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
