My Great Strides Story
Fundraising for South Suburban Great Strides 2026
Leah Nordquist
Hi, I am Leah! I was born with a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis.
RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO CURE FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS.
But there is hope for a better future. Much research and drug development are being done to increase the quality and length of life for someone with cystic fibrosis.
My team, Leah’s Front Line, helps promote awareness about cystic fibrosis and raise money to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF).
Every year, Leah’s Front Line walks in the GREAT STRIDES walk to help fund vital CF research. Please consider partnering in our efforts by giving a donation and/or joining our team as a walker.
Every day I work to add tomorrows. Would you help support me through fundraising research to find a cure.
On Saturday, May 2nd, we will walk in the South Suburban Great Strides walk to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please consider joining us and supporting our efforts by making a donation today!
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.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
Thanks,
Leah Nordquist & Family
