My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for San Antonio Great Strides
Luke Martindale
I am 13 years old and have cystic fibrosis. I spend hours a day doing breathing treatments and take 14 different medications daily with the hope that it will help to slow the decline of my lung function.
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. My journey is so unique that I am the only one in the U.S. database and #2 in the world with my specific nonsense cf mutation. 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 myself & everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
