My Great Strides Story

Breanna James

When Violet was just two weeks old, my amazing bestie Michelle and her husband Jason received the call that no parent ever expects: her newborn screening confirmed she had Cystic Fibrosis.

Today, Violet is a joyful, energetic six-year-old who loves gymnastics, dancing, and making people laugh.

She’s a great friend to our girls and always has the biggest smile on her face. But behind that bright smile is a daily routine of medications, treatments, and countless medical appointments to keep her lungs healthy.

While medical advances have made a huge difference for children with CF, there is still no cure.

I’m raising money to support the fight against Cystic Fibrosis and help create a future where kids like Violet can spend more time being kids: chasing dreams, dancing, and laughing….and less time managing a disease they never chose.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing. Every bit of support helps move us closer to a cure. 🫁💜
