My Great Strides Story

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. 

We are walking for Emily, the daughter of Regina’s childhood friend, Laura. We recently reconnected, and were thrilled to learn that our daughters are less than a month apart! Our exuberant, chatty, and joyful little ladies have become fast friends. We are honored to be part of Emily’s Entourage and cannot wait for the Great Strides event on May 11! 

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.
