Our grandson, Henry, was born on January 21, 2016. Within the first few weeks of his life, he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. While we were caught off guard (to say the least) with his diagnosis, we have found solace in the spirit of the CF community. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation offers hope and promise to those living with CF. Our hope for our grandson is that he is able to enjoy life to its fullest as the CFF works to find a cure for this disease.

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short.

This year Henry celebrated his eighth birthday. Our birthday wish for Henry is to help him have many, many more. Please join us in bringing hope to those who live with CF.

As our team name says, "Henry's Engines" is ready to ZOOM ahead to find a cure for CF! Let's make 2024 the year it happens!

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. We walk for them. Will you join us? All we need you to do to become a member of our team is click on the "Join our Team" button. From there you can make a donation and start your fundraising.

By becoming a member of our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Together, we are adding tomorrows to the lives of people living with CF by supporting the search for a cure.

Great Strides is a fun, family-friendly event that raises awareness and support for people with CF and their families.
