My Great Strides Story

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis (CF) 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. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Luca continues to benefit every day by the medications from the research that our donations make possible.
