My Great Strides Story

On May 3rd, 2022, the sweetest most beautiful baby boy was born. A day later, our lives were turned upside down as we were rushed to the nearest NICU. Within the next couple weeks and months, our Walker James underwent two surgeries, and received a Cystic Fibrosis diagnosis that surprised us all, as we had no idea we had any family history. It has been a couple years  full of worry, but also years full of overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, educating ourselves and others, and full of love. Our goal is a cure, and with research we hope that is in the horizon. 

 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 sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for Walker James, and I 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.
