Hello! Thanks again for taking the time to consider Great Strides as a charitable donation. The support our team receives from each of you, year after year is amazing! Thank you in advance for continuing the fight to Cure CF.

This year Great Strides is scheduled for May 18th, 2023, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.  Below is some of the general information about CF and the walk but I wanted to give you an update on our girl and our CF year.

This year, Joey and myself will be attending the Volunteer Leadership Conference and March on the Hill in Washington, D.C. to advocate for Laynee and Cystic Fibrosis community. 

Laynee is now a sophomore in college at BCTC in Lexington. She is studying to become a Surgical Tech. As far as her health, this has been a good year for her CF. Laynee continues to see Dr. Anstead in Lexington for her healthcare needs.  

Our Laynee is a lot healthier than many kids with CF so we consider ourselves lucky in that respect. Some of the parents we have met at our events have CF kids with medical bills in excess of $30,000.00 per month. All money raised by Great Strides goes directly to research for medications that may eliminate the need for patients to take multiple medicines each day and instead just take one.

Please join us on May 18th and walk with Laynee and her family/friends and other CF families to help make CF stand for Cure Found!! There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe. I walk for them and hope you will support me in my efforts.

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 still is no cure for this devastating disease. By walking today, I am helping add tomorrows 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.

Please support me!
