My Great Strides Story
My son Maverick was born January 17th 2023. When he was 5 days old he was diagnosed with Cystic fibrosis. It has been very scary,we had no ideal what it was but our son continues to inspire us. With the meds he is on he is doing amazing. But we want to fight for a cure.
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!
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.
This is all for Maverick and others like him.
Nothing is impossible with God.
