My Great Strides Story

Hi! Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the upcoming Great Strides event. Prior to our daughter being diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, we had no knowledge of CF.  It wasn't until right about the time of her birth that we heard about it.  That said, our daughter Berlynn was diagnosed just after birth.  She had a long road ahead of her just to leave the hospital (multiple operations and nearly 6 months in the NICU!)  Today, Berlynn lives a full life...active in school, choir, softball and a very busy social life with friends! Berlynn loves swimming, riding bikes, playing with her dogs, singing/music and she's quite crafty! :)

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.
