My Great Strides Story

My cousin Tim Allen was diagnosed with CF shortly after he was born almost 41 years ago.  As a family we have watched Tim courageously battle CF with a bravery that is inspirational.  I have never once heard him complain in all these years after multiple hospitalizations and some very serious health scares.  In our family, Tim is considered a hero (and so is his Mom, Tina who has advocated for him tirelessly since he was born) 

When my Dad was battling pancreatic cancer he often said Tim was his inspiration for fighting a good fight.  ​

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.
