My Great Strides Story

Many of you do not know I was born with this disease. I am blessed to have very mild issues compared to most who have it. If you can join me on the day of the walk I would be thrilled. If you can donate anything to the cause I will be just as thrilled. If you only are able to know more about the disease through this forum and help in the future I will be thrilled as well.

Thanks and God bless

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.

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.
