My Great Strides Story
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, like my son Cael. Although people with cystic fibrosis live longer than before, this all would not be possible without all the money that the CF Foundation raises and puts right back into research, drug development, and hospital-based care centers.
As Cael prepares to graduate next month from high school at Mount Saint Charles Academy, I can't help reflecting on his childhood journey.
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.
