My Great Strides Story

Hi everyone! 
Here in support of my bff Kerry Pawlyk as she, her family, and their Great Strides team approach the end of another fundraising season and Great Strides West Haven walk. I’ve been walking with the team for a few years and ask you to consider donating to this amazing organization that supports those with CF like her son, Brandon. 

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted 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 my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
