Hiya! Welcome to our team page - the Sodium Chloride Striders!
Sodium Chloride is the scientific name for salt, and we love science and all of the extraordinary progress that science has made for people with cystic fibrosis - a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe and creates a higher concentration of salt in sweat, among other issues.
But thanks to science and super supporters like you, the life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years! Spectacular progress that continues to grow as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation leads the way in the fight against CF. But there is no cure yet, and many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond.
That's why we need special people like *you* to join our Great Strides team and help us get one stride closer to a cure for CF!!
Great Strides is a super fun event that provides a phenomenal opportunity for family, friends and colleagues of all ages to participate together to make a huge difference in the lives of people with CF.
Will you join us?! Just click on the "Join our Team" button - from there you can make a donation and start fundraising! Every dollar counts as we stride for more spectacular advances for everyone with CF. Together we can end this disease and make CF stand for Cure Found!
