Welcome to the page for the "Fighting Fibrosis" Walnut Creek Chapter!
Lauren Kareh founded "Fighting Fibrosis" in Dedham, MA, but this year we are going nationwide and have chapters in Dedham, MA; Chicago, IL; and Walnut Creek, CA.
We hope that you will make a donation or consider walking with us on Saturday, April 27th at 10:00 AM at Heather Farms Park in Walnut Creek. Every dollar you give will help improve the lives of those with cystic fibrosis.
Important note on Attendance at Foundation Events:
Infections can exacerbate CF symptoms and worsen lung function, so we ask attendees at Foundation-sponsored events to observe the following best practices to reduce the risk of germ transmission:
Regularly wash hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your inner elbow.
Maintain a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection.
To further reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation’s attendance policy recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times while attending an outdoor Foundation-sponsored event. All Great Strides walks are non-smoking events.
