We have been participating in Great Strides since the 1990's, first in Milwaukee, then Sheboygan and now Fond du Lac.
Our son, Jacob, was born in 1983. He was diagnsed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 3 months. We had to mix digestive enzymes into his first solid food. When he was born the median life expectancy was 20 years. He is now 40!
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 and especially for our son/brother, Jacob Souik. Will you join us? To become a member of our team, just click on the "Join our Team" button. From there, you can make a donation and start fundraising.
By joining our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. We will not rest until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. The time is now. Together, we can conquer this disease.
Great Strides is a fun event that provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together to make a difference in the lives of people with CF -- join our team today!
