My Great Strides Story
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis.
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!!!!
Due to continued research and advancements put forward by the CF foundation, I was able to prolong the life of my native lungs for 26 years; unfortunately however, these medications were not enough to save them from the countless infections and ruthless scarring that this terrible disease causes, leading me to need a double lung transplant just a few months ago. My hope is that with continued research and development no CFer will make it to end-stage lung disease!
We raise money to fund ongoing research and the fight will not stop UNTIL ITS DONE.
Our goal is to make CF stand for CURE FOUND!!!!
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.
