My Great Strides Story

Claire is an energetic and fun-loving 7-year-old. Some of her favorite things include playing soccer, tap dancing, gymnastics, swimming, drawing, hopping around on her pogo stick and playing with friends. In between it all, Claire is living with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Claire's daily routine involves taking multiple medications and completing treatments to help her stay as healthy as possible.  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. 

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

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.
