My Great Strides Story

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.

On a more personal note, I am walking as a team with our non profit, the Boost Foundation. This project is something that means the world to me, because it was founded by someone that also means the world to me.

Over the past three years I have seen up close the struggles that people face living day in and day out because of this disease. The toll it takes physically, and emotionally on those who have it is simply unimaginable. I am in awe of the strength and fortitude that every single warrior possesses. 

Bottom line, I want the person I love to live out his life like anyone else. I want him to experience all phases of aging. I want him to go out there and not have to think twice about if his body will support him enough to do something he wants to do. I want a cure for him, and everyone else like him.

By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history. Let's not stop until CF stands for "cure found".
