My Great Strides Story

My husband Tom was diagnosed with CF last year.  This diagnosis provided us access to treatments which have greatly improved his quality of life after years of undiagnosed medical issues.  While amazing progress has been made in treating this disease for many of the people who have CF, there is still a lot of work left to be done to help those whose symptoms cannot be helped by the available treatments.

I’m walking to help change that.

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.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
