My Great Strides Story

Meet Baylee, an active loving 2 year old.  Baylee was diagnosed at birth with Cystic Fibrosis.  We are walking to support Baylee and her family who deal daily with treatments and medications.  Can you imagine pinning a 2 year-old down twice a day for therapy plus all the medications?  Will, it's part of her mommas every day life.

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.

You can support me!
