Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for considering support to Tommy's Team in this year's Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides Walk on Saturday, May 9, 2026.  It is a three mile walk at Breakheart Reservation in Saugus.

Because of your past generosity, passion and belief in this cause, last year we were honored to be named the Massachusetts/Rhode Island Chapters Rookie of the Year Team.  That recognition belongs to you -- every donor, walker, cheerleader and supporter that stood beside us. 

This year we walk with the same gratitude and even stronger purpose.  Thomas just turned two and has now started taking the ground breaking medication Trikafta.  We are incredibly hopeful and excited about what this treatment could mean for his health and future.  At the same time, we know that even transformational medications can have side effects, don't work the same way for everyone, and are not a cure.  While Trikafta represents extraordinary progress, there is still so much work to be done.  

Thomas is also approaching the age when cystic fibrosis symptoms often begin to present, and while incredible advancements have been made, the journey is far from over.  We continue to push for ongoing research, expanded access to life changing treatments, and ultimately, a cure not just for Thomas but for every person living with cystic fibrosis.  We want a world where there is a cure for all.

Every step we take and every dollar raised brings us closer to:
-More effective and accessible treatments.
-Longer healther lives for people with cystic fibrosis.
-A future where cystic fibrosis no longer limits what is possible.

Every dollar truly matters.  Every donation is one step closer to better treatments, break through research and hope for families like ours.

Thank you for walking with us, believing in progress, and helping us fight for a world without cystic fibrosis.

We are so grateful to have you on Tommy's Team.  Together we strive towards a cure.
