My Great Strides Story

Gunner Capps
Hi! My name is Gunner Capps, and I'm 22 months old-almost 2, which basically makes me a big deal. I was born with cystic fibrosis, so my start in life came with some extra challenges. I spent 75 days in the NICU (that's like... forever in baby time) and had a few surgeries before I even learned to crawl. These days, I take 30 enzymes a day just so I can chow down like a champ. Life might throw me curveballs, but I throw them right back-with a giggle, a smile, and maybe a little toddler mischief too!
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.
