Suttons Journey
Fundraising for Middle Tennessee Great Strides 2026
Jessica Scheetz
This walk is incredibly close to our hearts. Our daughter, Sutton, entered the world facing challenges we never expected. She was born with a complication called meconium ileus and underwent surgery at just five days old to remove a blockage in her GI tract. Not long after, we received the diagnosis that she has cystic fibrosis.
While those early days were overwhelming, they also showed us just how strong and resilient Sutton is. Thanks to ongoing research and medical advancements, there is so much hope for children like her—and we are deeply grateful for the progress that has already been made.
But cystic fibrosis is still a lifelong disease, and there is more work to be done. That’s why we are committed to continuing to walk, fundraise, and advocate—not just for Sutton, but for everyone affected by CF. Our hope is that, together, we can help fund the breakthroughs that will one day lead to a cure.
Thank you for being here, for supporting our family, and for helping us make a difference. Every step, every donation, and every share brings us closer to a future without cystic fibrosis.
