My Great Strides Story
My son Hudson was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth. He was born 5 weeks early and spent a month in the nicu. The day he was born he was a trooper. He underwent surgery just at 10 hours old. He was born with a bowel obstruction. The first 2 and a half months of Hudson’s life were a constant struggle… spent mostly in and out of the hospital. He underwent several more surgeries while staying in the hospital even developing a blood clot which required emergency surgery. My little boy has had more pokes and ivs then Ive had in my life. He was such a trooper and strong hero! Please help me by raising money to cure CF and make lives easier for all the people dealing with this horrible genetic disorder! Thank you.
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.
