My Great Strides Story-   $teven's Striders-  June 2, 2024

Dearest Family and friends.                                            WE ARE BACK IN FULL FORCE!!!             We are walking again as  $teven's Striders at Bowdoin Park in Poughkeepsie . As many of you may remember $teven would have been 36 this August’s and how much he loved planning a party.  Therefore let’s pretend this event is celebrating him. And  let’s make him proud of us and how much we can raise for the CF community.                                                                   I know this time of the year is difficult with kids sports games, communions, graduations, weddings….  But if you possibly can walk with us we appreciate it so much.  Or help us financially, every $ gets the foundation closer to a cure. 

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 as I promised $teven I would continue to do.

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. 

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.

THANK YOU!! $teven's mom and dad
