Great Strides provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together and make a difference. The event harnesses the power of people with a shared vision and encourages collaboration, team building, and leadership, as we take steps to find a cure for cystic fibrosis.
Your participation in Great Strides matters a lot! We don’t just want to treat CF, we want to end CF.
The time is now. Together, we can cross the finish line.
Get to know one of our CF Fighters! Our CF Fighters are the face of Great Strides, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s largest national fundraiser. These fighters, who have cystic fibrosis, are committed to helping raise awareness and fund research by fundraising for Great Strides so that someday, we can cure CF.
Meet our 2024 national ambassadors, Steph Hansen from @CFF South Texas and Marco Rosales from @CFF Washington!
Steph Hansen
Texas
Steph Hansen was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 3 years old. As an adult with two nonsense CF mutations, she’s passionate about bringing awareness to those who do not qualify for CFTR modulators. When she’s not engaging in advocacy work, Steph enjoys spending her time reading fantasy novels, gaming, being outdoors with her miniature schnauzers, and searching for the best tacos in South Texas.
Marco Rosales
Washington
Marco Rosales lives in Bellingham, Wash. with his wife of nine years, Sarah, and his beloved Labrador retrievers, Cedar and Nova. His interests include sports, fitness, nutrition, hiking, and exploring the outdoors with family and friends. Marco raised over $30,000 for CF in the last four years through fundraisers including running 100 miles in one month and running for 65 days straight.
Help spread awareness and grow your fundraising potential by forming corporate teams and family teams in your local community and across the country fostering pride and camaraderie as you make a difference for those living with CF.
