My Great Strides Story

I lost three sisters, Tisa, Cathy and Donna to Cystic Fibrosis many years ago. My brother and I were the lucky ones born without it but we are both carriers and so are all our children. After living 39 years without the cloud of CF in my life it roared its ugly head once again when my little granddaughter Aspyn was born with it 2 1/2 years ago. Thankfully, with all the advances in medicine Aspyn has a chance to live a full life, unlike my sisters. I started this group and will walk in honor of my little warrior princess Aspyn but also to honor the memory of my sisters who have never been forgotten. Please support us if you can with donations, prayers or even by joining our team! All are welcome!  

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.
