My Great Strides Story

For those who don't know, my little brother Matt has cystic fibrosis. Growing up, I wanted to go to all of his doctors' appointments to understand what I could do to help him. Being a kid myself, it wasn't much other than just being the best of friends and patiently waiting for him to finish his treatments so we could continue to build forts, watch Beetlejuice, play wii, and all of the things' siblings do.

I have now have the honor to work at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Metro DC Chapter doing what I can to help Matthew and all CF fighters. 

While great progress had been made due to the work of the Foundation, there is still no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for tens of 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.
