My Great Strides Story

We walk for Lexi. Lexi’s 21 years old and our CF Warrior. Lexi is not currently eligible for any of the amazing CF treatments that are on the market due to her genetic mutations. We can’t loose focus on the race to the cute. Advances are made everyday, but we are a long way from the finish line!
after a couple good years, 2024 was hard on Lexi. A sustained 20 point reduction in lung function raised her disease severity. Weekly clinic trips, low lung function, and a new injectable medication have brought her through it. Every CF flare causing lasting lung damage. We need a cure to prevent future complications. Lung damage isn’t repairable but future damage is preventable.
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.
