Join our team and help add tomorrows! Bernie's Dream Team was started in 2000, just a couple months after my youngest brother, Bernie, lost his battle with Cystic Fibrosis. Bernie was just 21 years old. He was the third of my siblings to succumb to Cystic Fibrosis. Teresa lost her battle at age 6 and Ben at age 10. In 1974, when Teresa passed away and Ben was just an infant, life expectancy for those with CF was age 6. Now, average life expectancy is almost 40 years old. That's an amazing improvement! This has been made possible by fundraising efforts and incredible volunteers. Thanks for supporting this cause and my efforts to make CF stand for Cure Found!
There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. We walk for them. Will you join us? All we need you to do to become a member of our team is click on the "Join our Team" button. From there you can make a donation and start your fundraising.
By becoming a member of our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Together, we are adding tomorrows to the lives of people living with CF by supporting the search for a cure.
Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
