My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for South Suburban Great Strides 2026
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. 🫁💜
