My Great Strides Story
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. When Gareth was born, they warned me he may not be long for this world. Gareth must face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for my son I want a cure! The development in research has led to incredible new drug therapies that has increased his lung function and has saved us from hospital stays But that isn’t good enough.
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.
