Faith, Hope, and Charity

Join our team and help add tomorrows!

The name of my team is Faith, Hope, and Charity. The name comes in memory of my best friend Charity, who died in January of 2013 at age 33 and her little sister, Hope, who died in 1994 at the tend age of 8. They are buried next to each other in Savannah in the Faith section of the cemetery.

My team and I will be walking in the CF walk this year. Please help donate if you can. I am walking in memory of my best friend Charity, her sister Hope, and for children and adults with cystic fibrosis everywhere.

I have cystic fibrosis and I am only alive today thanks to the advancements made from the clinical trials and the research done by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. When I was born, I failed to thrive and I was diagnosed with CF at 8 months old. At that time, they expected me to die before I turned 5 years old. Most infants today are diagnosed at birth or beforehand through genetic testing. Please make a donation to help ensure that these children will have healthy futures. CF mostly affects caucasions, but it can affect people of any race and nationality. I have two separate genes, the most common ones, delta f508 and a rarer one, R334W.

My friend Charity's and her little sister's days have stopped. My days continue on and so do many with CF. Please help add tomorrows, today, by making a donation or joining me on my walk. Thank you!

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. We walk for them. Will you join us? All we need you to do to become a member of our team is click on the "Join our Team" button. From there you can make a donation and start your fundraising.

By becoming a member of our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Together, we are adding tomorrows to the lives of people living with CF by supporting the search for a cure.

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
