My Great Strides Story

I am walking with the Cohen Connection with my granddaughter Hailey. I met Meg and her family, many years ago, after she lost her dear son Jeff, when I worked for the CF foundation  and actually ran the great strides.   While working at the foundation I found out my Daughter  was a carrier when she was expecting Hailey!!! It rocked  our world... luckily  Hailey and her sister do not have CF. My son was later checked and he is also a carrier. But his children  do not have CF either. .. My very close friend I met through CF... and she has a beautiful 40yr old daughter  that  thanks to the resesrch and new  drugs is doing great... I have been blessed with healthy children and grandchildren... and have kept in touch with many families I got v to know throughout the years... 

Hailey came to work with me many times and as she grew she began fundraising and going to the walks... my daughter and Haileys sister Lily would often join us.

This year at 19 Hailey will be joining me again... like always...  Lily and Renee can't make it but lily  and I will be doing a fundraiser this summer. 

Please consider giving a small donation... even 10.00 would help and my employer will match the money I raise. 

Below is more information on cystic fibrosis  and their research.

Thank you for helping to make cf stand for cure  found. ❤ 

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.

Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.

You can support me!

By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
