Thank you for choosing to make a donation on behalf of my “Nana” / Gertrude Saunders. Her life was beautiful, and her love of her “Colton” was immeasurable! He was the “sunshine of her days” and she literally adored every breath he took. Nothing would make her happier than knowing she helped find a cure for her sweet “living Angel” as she called him. Her memory surely is one to celebrate and will forever live in him. 

For too long, cystic fibrosis, a rare, genetic disease, has robbed people of tomorrows - progressively limiting their ability to breathe and tragically shortening life. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with CF. 

I walk for not only Colton but for all who have CF. I now include my cousin Lily, whom is just a year old.  Will you join me and support our Great Strides fundraising goal?

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. It is our hope that Colton will live to see a "cure found." We believe this truly IS possible. Colton is one of the rare cases in which the “new treatments” that are A HUGE STEP in the right direction do not work for him. He does not have the “typical mutations” thus requiring him to continue searching for new treatments/cure! 

By walking with me in Great Strides, and supporting Colton's Crusade you can help accelerate the Foundation's pursuit of new therapies and provide vital support to meet the needs of the CF community.

Please support Colton's Crusade and help make our Walk successful on May 11th, 2024. This will be our second in person walk, as thus far many walks were cancelled due to Covid. 

Your participation will help us get one step closer to ending this terrible disease. Let's make CF stand for Cure Found.
