My Great Strides Story
I will be participating in the Great Strides walk in Enola, PA on May 19, 2024 in memory of my great niece Alyssa Kibler. Alyssa exceeded all expectations at the time of her diagnosis, living to 35 years old, but that is not enough.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping support research leading to a cure and ending this disease for thousands of people affected 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 support me, you will help advance the mission for a cure for all. Please consider making a donation and helping make CF stand for Cure Found. Thank you!
