My Great Strides Story

At three weeks old, our daughter Scottie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. This came as a huge shock to us as her parents as we had no idea we were carriers or even what CF truly was. Right now there is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, we are striving to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.

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.

Your support makes a difference.

By donating to our fundraising goal, you are helping advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found. Until it’s done
