My Great Strides Story

2010 brought our family the arrival of Bennett Holland, a bright eyed, energetic and entertaining boy!  With his arrival, his parents soon learned of his positive CF newborn screening.  Immediately, our family grew!  Our family included the CF Clinic staff.  Then our family included the CF Foundation Staff. And now, our Family includes the Cystic Foundation Families and Supporters from across the United States!

Bennett has been healthy due to the amazing medications and therapies developed through the amazing Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and their partnerships with an army of scientist and researchers supported by the most generous donors from across the nation!

Bennett is a typical teenager that does not want to be thrust in the spotlight.  He allows us to rally around him once a year to share the amazing health he enjoys under the watchful eye of the UK CF Clinic.  We work the cure for Bennett but also for so many that do not have life as easy as him.  

Please join our Bennett's Buddies Team at the Walk and also through support of the foundation on the attached link!

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.
