Walk with our team to Cure Cystic Fibrosis
Fundraising for Valley of the Sun Great Strides 2026
Maverick & Sadie’s Crew
Maverick and Sadie’s journey is one defined by strength, resilience, and hope. Maverick, now 16, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at just two months old. His early years were filled with frequent hospital visits, but through it all, he has shown incredible perseverance. Alongside his journey, his family has witnessed firsthand the life-changing advancements made possible through ongoing research and treatment development.
Sadie, now 9, was diagnosed even earlier—at just two weeks old. Thanks to continued progress in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis, she had the opportunity to participate in a study for a new medication, offering hope not just for her future, but for so many others living with CF.
Their stories highlight both how far the CF community has come and how much work still lies ahead. With no government funding for many clinical trials, progress depends on people coming together to support research efforts. Each step forward brings us closer to a future where CF stands for “Cure Found.”
We invite you to take part in Great Strides by joining our team. We promise, you belong here! This event promises to be a fun-filled day where you can help advance the care and research needed to cure cystic fibrosis. By walking with us, you’ll enjoy not only the natural camaraderie (yes, lots of laughter!), but the important impact we are making together.While the CF Foundation has made incredible progress, not everyone with CF can benefit from existing therapies and we still need a cure. This will require time, funding, and persistence – but with you on our team – we are ready to go the distance.
Our team is committed to providing every person with CF the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Will you join us?
