My Great Strides Story

Donate Now

Hi Family and Friends!

We are profoundly grateful for those who have supported us in our devotion to a better tomorrow for Arlo and all those fighting Cystic Fibrosis. It brings to mind song lyrics that are near and dear to our hears"Let there be songs to fill the air", you have filled our lives with so much hope. We started singing the song "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead to Arlo when he was in the hospital during his first days of life and it became a way for us to make peace with the life we have been given. Since Arlo was born Team Arlo has Raised over $20,000!!!

Arlo is currently 18 months old and loves cooking in his pretend kitchen, playing at the park, and hanging out with his neighborhood buddies. Arlo is a big bright light and every day it is clear to us that he is a fighter. He recently got his new Airway Clearance Vest and loves showing it off to other people. His pulmonologist has reminded us that even though he is super healthy, he will still face major challenges due to his CF.

Arlo's Fight Against CF Includes:

25 pills per day that he takes in order to absorb fat and nutrients from his food.
Weekly PT, OT, and SP to help him manage his CF and maintain optimal health
30 minutes of Airway clearance treatments a day
30 minutes of breathing treatments a day
6 different medications taken daily
Appreciation for all the joy in between :)

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.
