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.
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.
How has Cystic Fibrosis changed my family's life?
My cousin Makenzie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis is 2000. In the past 25 years Cystic Fibrosis treatment has come so far. In 2000, our family didn't have the knowledge or resources available then. We weren't sure how many milestones the Makenzie would have the chance to achieve. She is now married and an ASL teacher in the Dallas Fort Worth area \u2764\ufe0f No family should have to experience the impact of Cystic Fibrosis.
