Our Story
There
are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms,
dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle
every day just to breathe. We walk for them. Will you join us? There are two
ways you can become a member of our National Family team.
1.
You can join any of our teams across the country as a walker and help fundraise
by clicking the Join Our Team Button above.
2.
You can lead your own team under our National Family team in a walk local to
you and help recruit others to walk with you by clicking Find a Walk and
following the prompts to register for a walk near you.
By
becoming a member of our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing
group of people committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Together, we
are adding tomorrows to the lives of people living with CF by supporting the
search for a cure.
Great
Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for
people with CF and their families.

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:
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.
