My Great Strides Story

Donate Now

Dear Friends, Family & Colleagues:

I hope you are staying well and taking care. I am reaching out to you today in an effort to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation once again. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that limits a person's ability to breathe and impacts every organ that secretes something. Over time, it shortens the lives of those it affects. When the CF Foundation first began in 1955, people with CF seldom lived to see elementary school, but today more than half of the CF population are adults and are reaching major milestones. Because of the money donated to research to find a cure, the life expectancy is now 50!!

As a lot of you already know, Alex was first diagnosed when he was 6 months old. He has had to live with this disease and all of its implications since. We are fortunate that Alex has been able to stay healthy so far from Covid and continues to enjoy working out and making music. He will be turning 29 this summer. He also continues to assist my mom in caretaking duties for his dad.

The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to find a cure for cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care. Nearly every CF-specific drug available today was made possible with the financial support of the CF Foundation.

Here's where my special request comes in. I am participating in a the Great Strides Walk at the new Austin FC Q2 Stadium on May 14. I am also considering doing another 65 mile ride as well. My personal goal is to raise $3,000. My team goal is to raise $4,000. Here are several ways to helpsupport my goal:

Donate to my page! Any amount of money is much appreciated.
Help me raise funds by signing up for Alexander's Army and participate in the Great Strides Walk on May 14 and come see the new soccer stadium!

Best Wishes,

Connie Adams

IMPORTANT NOTE ON ATTENDANCE AT FOUNDATION EVENTS:

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 the Foundation is taking steps to host safe events for our community. Please be advised that events may be subject to change at any time based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials.

To help minimize the risk of COVID-19, we ask that attendees at CF Foundation events follow these steps:

Where mandated, practice physical distancing and maintain at least a safe 6-foot distance from persons outside of their household.
Face masks are encouraged and should be worn in accordance with local guidelines. (Note, children under two years of age should not wear masks due to safety concerns and therefore should only attend outdoor CF Foundation events where they are able to distance and stay within their family group.)
Follow basic infection, prevention and control practices by regularly washing hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, and by covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow.
Persons with CF should consult their physician before participation in any in-person event as they may be at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
For indoor events, it is CFF policy to invite only one person with CF to be in-person at the event at a time. For outdoor events, people with CF should maintain a safe 6-foot distance from persons outside of their household at all times.

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS:

For the health and well-being of the CF community, we strongly encourage that participants be fully vaccinated and have received the CDC recommended booster shot when joining us in-person for the event.
Please be advised certain localities and venues may require you to be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination. We will communicate these requirements in event communications.
We are counting on the fact that you appreciate the potential consequences of exposing members of the CF community to COVID-19 and will not attend an event if you are feeling ill or have been recently exposed to COVID-19.
We cannot guarantee that all people in attendance at the event, including participants, sponsors, volunteers, vendors, or others, have been fully vaccinated.
