My Great Strides Story

Our daughter, Lucille Alessandra Hartwig is our dream come true! She is the best sister to our son Theodore and she completes our family of 4 exactly the way we always imagined...

She was diagnosed with CF at 5 weeks old but it will not define who she is or who she will become- it is a challenge that, with support, she will overcome and continue to thrive!

The CF Foundation has made so much progress already, we are confident in a bright future for everyone in our community.   

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.
