My Great Strides Story
It’s been 3 years since our granddaughter Maddie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Thanks to research from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, she is a beautiful, happy 3 year old.
We have been blessed that the medication Trikafta is working for Maddie and she continues to amaze us. The funding for research on Trikafta and upcoming treatments comes from your generous donations.
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.
Our family is extremely appreciative of your support and donations. If you are able to walk with us, we would love to have you!
Thanks for helping us make CF stand for Cure Found.
