Melissa Smith

Well here comes another year for Great Strides. Thank you everyone that supported us through the years. Cannot believe Paisley will be three this coming June.  She’s such a sassy, spunky, smart and sweet little girl. She’s also very determined.  She knows what she wants and when she wants it. She tests Ty and Darby but she’s so worth the crazy.  We have also become really close with Ty’s donor’s parents.  They love on Paisley like we do as well as Ty and Darby. We can’t bring their daughter back but she lives on in Ty and Paisley.  

Chase and Brittany are looking for their first home but with the market it’s been difficult.  Once that’s tied down I am sure the wedding bells will be along soon after.  

I have retired again  to be more available and take care of my step dad’s needs with his dementia and other health issues.    

We want to thank you for your help, prayers, support and donations. Research is on the cusp of finding the cure. We are so many steps closer and can't do it without you. We are close to having more meds released that will help all CF patients. 

Will you join me and support my Great Strides fundraising goal? We will be walking in the Howard County walk this year at Centennial Park on 6/15/24.  They say Please help us, if you can, to reach our goal. The money will help continue the research find a cure. Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. Please make a donation to my page.

By walking with me in Great Strides, you can help accelerate the Foundation's pursuit of new therapies and provide vital support to meet the needs of the CF community.

Please support me!

Your participation will help us get one step closer to ending this terrible disease. Let's make CF stand for Cure Found.
