GREAT STRIDES, a Walk supporting the CF Foundation, will take place at Brier Creek Park, Morrisville, Saturday, May 18th 2024 . We will be "making strides" to support our friends and neighbors whose daughter, Allison, was diagnosed with CF as an infant. We ask that you support our effort, and the 2024 GREAT STRIDES Walk.
Allison is in her final semester at University of South Carolina and will be graduating May 3 with a BSN in Nursing. This past year, she has successfully managed clinicals 2-3 days a week as well as her health and CF regimen of daily vest treatments, breathing treatments and oral medications throughout the day. In July, Allison will begin her nursing career at Duke University Medical Center working in the Pediatric unit.
Since starting Trikafta, a triple combination therapy available to treat patients who have at least one F508del mutation, in September 2019, Allison has been very healthy. No hospitalizations since July 2019 and a few viruses requiring oral antibiotics. Trikafta really has been a game changer for Allison and so many others fighting Cystic Fibrosis. We are confident research will progress at a similar pace and the rarest CF gene mutations will be addressed, including Allison's.
Help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Great Strides fundraising campaign. Your gift will help add tomorrows to the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by supporting life-saving research and medical progress. Your gift is 100-percent tax deductible.
