Dear friends and family,
 

On March 15, 2026, our family will be participating in Great Strides, a national fundraising walk benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

We walk in honor of my son, Adriano, who lives with cystic fibrosis — a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. Every single day he shows strength, resilience, and courage beyond his years.

Thanks to the research funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, treatments have improved dramatically and lives have been extended. But there is still no cure. That’s why we walk. That’s why we fundraise. That’s why we believe.

Your donation — no matter the size — directly supports groundbreaking research, innovative therapies, and hope for families like ours.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this message helps more than you know. And if you’d like to join us on March 15, 2026, we would be honored to walk together.

Thank you for standing with Adriano and the entire CF community. 💙

With love and gratitude,
Zilghean
