My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Santa Barbara Great Strides

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis 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 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.
I walk for my dear friend, Trish Lunetta, who lives with cystic fibrosis daily. I have seen her be hospitalized again and again. But thanks in large part to the efforts of this fundraiser, I have seen her health dramatically improve thanks to advancements in treatments that this walk helps fund.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
