We invite you to support Claire’s Crew by donating to our Great Strides team in honor of Claire’s beloved grandfather, “Papa” Scott Iredell. This year’s walk holds special meaning for our family as we remember Scott’s unwavering love, generosity, and support, and the incredible role he played in Claire’s life. Your donation honors his memory while directly helping advance the care and research needed to ultimately cure cystic fibrosis.

Great Strides is more than just a walk; it’s a joyful, meaningful day filled with laughter, connection, and purpose. It brings together families, friends, and supporters who are united by a shared mission - to improve the lives of those living with CF. By donating to Claire’s Crew, you’re helping fuel progress, fostering community, and making a real and lasting impact.

Thanks to the incredible work of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, progress over the years has been nothing short of remarkable. However, not everyone with CF is able to benefit from current therapies, and there is still no cure. Continued progress requires time, funding, determination, and heart - but with your support of our team, we are ready to go the distance until every person with CF has access to life-saving treatments and, one day, a cure.

When Claire was diagnosed, it was a curveball that impacted our entire family, and Scott met that moment with strength, compassion, and unconditional love. He embraced the unique challenges that come with caring for an infant with CF, flew in from California every spring to walk alongside us at Great Strides, and proudly cheered Claire on through soccer games, softball practices, and learning how to ride a hoverboard.

We will be forever grateful for the 8.75 years Claire was able to know and love her Papa, and for the countless ways he showed up for her and our family. This walk - and every step we take - is for him, for Claire, and for everyone impacted by cystic fibrosis.

Thank you for considering a donation to Claire’s Crew and for walking beside us in spirit as we continue the fight for a cure - together.
