My Great Strides Story

Fundraising for Triad Great Strides 2026

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.
As many of you know, Gavin was diagnosed with CF at age 5, he has managed his diagnosis with strength and grace, he is my hero. His CF affects his lungs, liver, and pancreas. He takes about 30 pills a day and routinely cycles on and off antibiotics. We have been fortunate that so far Gavin has not had to be hospitalized but many families have not been so fortunate. The CF foundation is dedicated to continue research to find medications that all patients can take to help their conditions.
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 year Sarah, Richard, and I will be walking in the Great Strides Event. We invite you to join our team and/or to make a generous donation. Every dollar makes a difference.
