My Great Strides Story

Hey I’m Josh, dad to Boston, and shes my hero. 


Boston is 11 and in the 6th grade. She loves basketball and surfing. She was diagnosed with CF at birth. We moved from Indiana to the beaches of NC when she was three to add quality and longevity  to her life. 


We are thrilled to walk in the Wilmington event this year and WE NEED YOUR HELP! 


CF research is massively underfunded and this is the largest fundraiser we do annually! 


Please consider joining our team or donating to our cause!! 


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. 

Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.

You can support me!
