Our Great Strides Story
Our Great Strides Story
Our granddaughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was barely two weeks old.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and their disease can lead to serious health issues.
As a first time grandparents, her diagnosis was scary and full of unknowns, but seeing her grow and thrive every day in the face of CF has been inspiring and has filled us with hope. Her CF mutations are more uncommon and are not impacted by the new treatments for many CF patients, but that has not slowed her down in the slightest.
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, including our granddaughter. We must keep going.
The Great Strides event happens to fall 2 days after her first birthday. We can't think of a better gift to give our precious little granddaughter than helping make progress in finding a cure so that she can live a long and healthy life.
