My Great Strides Story
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.
Why I'm asking you to consider helping me raise 2K? My newphews Pete & Andy Leatherman were born with CF. Pete passed away 11 years ago (age 26) and Andy has carried on Pete's memory by running or walking in several fundraisers every year to help find a cure. This year I'm excited to join Andy's team "For Pete's Sake" to also raise awareness, funds and walk with Andy and the team in Pittsburgh.
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.
