My Great Strides Story

Holly Shaw

Every year, we come together to fight for something deeply personal—a cure for our son, IV, and for everyone living with cystic fibrosis. This year, time has slipped by faster than I expected, and our Walk is right around the corner.

The progress made during IV’s lifetime has been nothing short of incredible. Because of supporters like you, real strides have been made, and we are so grateful for the love and encouragement you show us year after year.

But the truth is, there is still no cure.

Too many people with CF are still fighting for every breath. This disease is relentless—it damages the lungs, the pancreas, and other vital organs, making everyday life a constant battle and often leading to life-threatening complications.

That’s why this moment matters.

Every single dollar brings us closer to the cure we know is within reach. Every donation fuels the research, the treatments, and the hope that one day no family will have to hear this diagnosis again.

We won’t stop until that day comes.

Will you help us get there?

By supporting our fundraising goal, you are directly advancing the science and breakthroughs needed to turn this shared dream into reality—a cure for everyone living with CF.

Thank you for standing with us, for believing with us, and for helping us push forward—right now, when it matters most.
