My Great Strides Story
I am excited to announce that on May 1, 2024 my family and our amazing Team Cats will be participating in Bethesda Great Strides to raise funds for CF research and treatment.
Why do we support this cause? We are walking for our daughter. She is one of approx. 40,000 people in the United States who have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.
We are grateful that a couple of years ago an amazing CF drug (Trikafta) was developed to help our daughter and many other CF patients. Unfortunately there are still too many people with CF who are not eligible for this miracle drug.
There continues to be significant progress in treating this disease, but there is still no cure and too many lives are cut far too short.
Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
You can support US in one of two (or both) ways:
-Make a donation to my Great Strides campaign today! Even a small donation of $10 can make a big difference
-Register to walk with Team Cats and help raise funds, you can ride with us or wherever you want.
Please help us reach our fundraising goal and donate an amount that is meaningful to you! Thank you for your support, together we can make a difference and help make CF stand for CURE FOUND!

We have HOPE and do believe that a cure will be found.
Grateful,
The Rogers
