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 daily struggle to just breathe. I walk for them and I walk for my daughter, Charsi.
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.
Real progress has been made in the search for a cure, but the lives of people with CF are still cut far too short. There is still no cure for this devastating disease. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrow to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis. Will you join me? Support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today! Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
You can support me!
