It's hard to believe that the KC Great Strides walk is coming up again already! Great Strides is the largest annual fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and our family is proud to be participating again for our 15th year in support of Bailey and Chase.
CF is a genetic disease with no cure, yet. But thanks to fundraising efforts year after year, researchers have made significant progress and the outlook for individuals with CF today is far greater than it was even a decade ago. If you'd like to help support Bailey and Chase through our fundraising efforts this year, you can donate using this link!
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 fight daily to breath easy and stay healthy. Our two oldest children, Bailey and Chase, are included in that number. We walk for them.
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.
You can support me!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
