My Great Strides Story
My two older sisters have cystic fibrosis. I have watched how CF has affected them negatively throughout life which has led me to want to participate in this fundraising event. This is extremely important to my family and I since there is no cure for this disease. Please help thousands of people with Cystic Fibrosis and participate in this event with us. Help make CF stand for Cure Found!
Cystic fibrosis 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.
