My Great Strides Story

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. Recently, our daughter who is expected to be delivered around June 3, 2026 was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. I'm walking to help change that reality and fund further research advancements that have already greatly impacted our daughter's life.



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.
