My Great Strides Story

I am walking for my 3 brothers who were born with CF and lost their battle from this illness.  I also have a close friend named Mike who is battling the same and consider him like a brother.  I had another friend names Scott who also lost his battle.  This is the many reason why helping those who have Cf means the world to me and is close to my heart.

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.

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.
