My Great Strides Story
I walk to raise awareness for my niece, Emery, and hope to one day find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Emery is 12 years old, loves to dance and has a big personality. She's a ball of energy, so much fun and her smile is contagious. She was diagnosed with CF when she was born, and has been receiving treatments since then. She has undergone several sinus surgeries, as one of the affects of CF is the buildup of mucus in the sinus cavity and lungs. This buildup decreases function and requires aggressive treatments to keep it from doing damage to her body. She has benefited from some of the drug research over the years, receiving medications that slow or stop the progression of CF. We hope to continue to fund this research and help find a cure!
Your support makes a difference.
