Lucille's Journey
Fundraising for Palm Beach & Treasure Coast Great Strides 2026
Justin Parish
There is still no cure for cystic fibrosis—and far too many children and families are forced to fight a battle they never chose.
I’m walking to help change that reality. I’m walking for my daughter, Lucille.
Lucille’s fight began before she even took her first breath. Diagnosed before birth, she entered this world already facing incredible odds. At just three hours old, she underwent emergency surgery after a bowel rupture, losing a third of her intestine. What should have been our first days together at home became a long, uncertain journey—three months in the NICU, filled with fear, hope, and relentless strength from our little girl.
And still, her fight continues.
Cystic fibrosis is a relentless, life-shortening disease that attacks the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes every breath harder, every illness more dangerous, and every day more uncertain. Despite incredible advances, too many people with CF still face shortened lives and constant challenges.
But there is hope—and that hope comes from people like you.
Every person with CF has a different journey, but they all share one need: a cure. Research is moving us closer than ever before, but we are not there yet. We cannot stop now.
I’m asking you to stand with us.
Your donation isn’t just a contribution—it’s a step toward longer, healthier lives. It’s support for families like mine. It’s hope for Lucille’s future.
Together, we can help end cystic fibrosis.
Will you help us get there?
