Little Lawrence’s CF story

Lawrence was born in August 2023 and was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 9 days old. He has DD F508 mutations. We have learned so much about Cystic Fibrosis since his diagnosis and are forever thankful for the trailblazers who came before us who contributed to the extreme medical advancements that Lawrence will benefit from. There is no cure but there is now treatment available to prolong his life by DECADES. We ask for you to come walk with us, donate if you feel lead to and support him and others who battle CF as we work towards a cure! 




What is Great Strides?

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.
