My Great Strides Story

My name is Julia and I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis the day I was born, I am currently 23 years old living with CF. Growing up with this illness I’ve learned a lot of things, whether it be how to cope with being in the hospital for a few weeks at a time to get better from being sick or figuring out how to take care of myself day to day. I am fortunate enough to be living as much as a normal life as I can but others with my illness are not as fortunate as I am, so I am asking you for help to help me and all the other people with CF fight for a cure. Please consider donating to my cause and/or signing up to walk with me and my family at the Charlotte Great Strides event. Thank you for your support.!

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.
