My Great Strides Story

My Daughter Melissa fights this horrible disease everyday. She is the mom of 4 beautiful souls and married to the love of her life. C.F. fundraiser s allow her to be here, she and others like her benefit from the studies and research that improve  treatment and medication  to help her fight. Please read below to understand just what this illness is and does to people who fight. Please help us to reach our goal .

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.

Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues.  

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — but these treatments are not a cure and not everyone can benefit from them. We must keep going.

Your support makes a difference.

By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
