My Great Strides Story

Our Vida was diagnosed at 3weeks old and there began our journey with the CF Foundation. We are so grateful for all their hard work and dedication to the care of all the people effected by the disease. The Idaho chapter especially has a wonderful care team of specialists that we’ve gotten to know and care for dearly over this past year. The amount of time and attention that they pour into every patient and visit is unmatched by any provider we’ve come across previously. We cannot express our gratitude for all the hard work, dedication and advancements in medicine and care plans this foundation has provided us and families like us.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping 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 my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
