My Great Strides Story

Hello everyone! 

My son's name is Anthony, and he has cystic fibrosis. Most days, we have an uphill battle, but we don't give up without a fight.

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.

We walk in hopes of changing CF to mean a cure is found. We appreciate the countless warriors, caregivers, and their families for their never-ending support and never-giving-up attitude.

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.
