Why am I doing this? 
I am fortunate to have a wonderful healthy daughter but a good friend of mine has a son who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis soon after birth. 

Elliot is a fun-loving teenager who loves to play outside, ride his bike, play card games, and compete in sports.  His favorite sports are football, basketball, and baseball.  He also enjoys going disc golfing and trying new courses. In order to stay healthy enough to do these things, he must do daily nebulizer and vest treatments as well as take 7 different medications. The Cystic Fibrosis therapies that he takes, were nearly all a result of research and funding done by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Please consider making a donation to research new treatments and find a CURE for Cystic Fibrosis.

Thank you for all your prayers and support!  I appreciate YOU!

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

Please support me by making a donation to my Great Strides fundraising campaign today!

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.
