Our Great Strides Story
Our first Great Strides walk as a family of 4 was in 1996, when Megan was only 3 months old and had been diagnosed with CF at birth. For the last 28 years, we've been walking Great Strides each May.
In Megan's lifetime, we've been able to see incredible milestones hit in Cystic Fibrosis research.
When Megan was born, the average life expectancy of someone with CF was below 40. Now, thanks to the advancements made by the CF Foundation, over 50% of people with Cystic Fibrosis are over 18.
This year we will be walking in Frankfort, IL on Saturday, May 4. We hope you'll be able to join us!
