Natalie’s Strides Story
While there are currently some amazing therapies for Cystic Fibrosis, there is no cure. Additionally, Natalie is one of the 8% of CF patients that aren’t addressed with the life changing medicines. By participating in Great Strides, I am hoping to help to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF and find a treatment that will work for Nat and the remaining 8%.
Nat looks and acts normal (ok, maybe not really but most would know she has CF. Even we tend to forget sometimes.) We’re lucky that so far, the disease hasn’t had a HUGE impact on her health. Help us keep it that way. CF 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.
