My Great Strides Story
My cousin, Kristen, recently celebrated her 24th anniversary of a double lung transplant. She has Cystic Fibrosis, as do approximately 30,000 Americans. Kristen is living with chronic rejection, but she continues to fight everyday.
On May 18th, I'm walking to raise money to support life-saving research and medical progress for all those living with CF. Please join me in supporting her and all those united in the fight to save lives.
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. Cheers!
