My Great Strides Story
My name is Caleb and I am 3 years old. I was diagnosed with CF when I was about 2 months old. I have had 2 recent hospitalizations this year due to pancreatitis from my CF. I am actually currently admitted and won’t be able to attend the walk. My mom and uncle also have CF. My family has been the best support system! I love living every day to the fullest!
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.
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.
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.
