My Great Strides Story

We walk for Wyatt. We walk for the CF community. We walk for research and legislation. We walk in hopes of a cure being found in our lifetime.

Wyatt was diagnosed with CF at 2 weeks old. His life has been full of medication, treatments, hospital stays and illness, but this has not dimmed his light. He is kind, thoughtful, silly, creative and full of personality. He has benefited tremendously from the amazing work done through the CF Foundation and we are thankful every day for all they do.

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.

Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
