My Great Strides Story

Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that many people are not familiar with because it is a rare disease. It wasn't until I met my fianc\351, Adam, that I had even really heard about CF. Since Adam & I have been together I have made it my goal to educate myself on Cystic Fibrosis. I have learned about the history, symptoms, medical advances, & challenges that come with CF but even more so, I have witnessed first hand the strength, resilience, adaptability, capabilities, & courage that someone with Cystic Fibrosis has. My fianc\351 is one of the strongest people I've ever met & it's an honor to watch him navigate his CF journey.
I am grateful for all of the progress that has been made in providing people with Cystic Fibrosis life changing medication & treatments that really make a difference but the truth is that there is still no "cure" for someone with CF.
I understand times are tough so if you cannot donate all that I ask is that you please educate yourself on Cystic Fibrosis and the different ways you can help, even if it's just a simple act like wearing a mask when you're sick in public because a common cold can hospitalize someone with CF. Education and informing others can make a big difference.. It can even save a life!
Thank you!
Information:
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.
