My Great Strides Story
Farrah Petersen
Fundraising for New Orleans Great Strides
Farrah Petersen
My name is Farrah Petersen and I lost my son Charlie to CF when he was only 15 years old.
Charlie was a brilliant light in so many lives. He lived every day of his short life to the fullest. He was always smiling and cracking jokes. He loved his family and his friends. He had an unshakeable faith in God.
Charlie never asked "Why me?" He approached every obstacle, every hospitalization, every treatment, every med as just something he had to go through and he did it with grace and dignity.
We miss him, more than any words can express. But we promised him that we would continue his fight until there was a cure. Until every person with CF could breathe easier.
Some days are a struggle. Some days are not. But no matter the day, good or bad, we remember Charlie, we remember our promise. And we push forward as he wanted us to.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
