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. Far more than 70,000 people worldwide are being treated that have CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them. Our nine year old granddaughter has cystic fibrosis.

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.

Caelynn is really so wonderful. She is doing well in school, enjoys soccer, gymnastics, and reading. She has great parents and friends. Her medical care team is terrific. 

You can support me!
