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 and specifically for my buddy Luca who has had CF since birth, 5 years.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person. Luca has lung congestion and difficulty maintaining weight due to digestive issues. His CF requires daily treatments, medication and frequent doctor visits. But none of that stops him from smiling through life!
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments. Luca has recently been able to take advantage of some of these 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.
