My Great Strides Story

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.  

I have a personal connection to CF my 4-year-old grandson Tripp who was diagnosed with CF as a newborn. Tripp is one of the happiest kids you will ever meet.  He does not let CF stop him from enjoying life to the fullest!  May is Cystic Fibrosis awareness month.  This month I will be participating in the Great Strides Walk in Jacksonville. Please help if you can.

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.
