My Great Strides Story

Wesley and I were best friend’s for 5 years in total. Only 6 months of those years, we were married for, but they were a glorious 6 months full of hopes and dreams. Wesley was a different person from the one I found on his mom’s couch, depressed, skipping his treatment, not eating and waiting for his disease to kill him. Now, he had hope, and a future to look forward to.

But, CF robbed us of that future. Yes, he got to go to Heaven and spend eternity there, but that didn’t make it any easier for me. I had believed that with his new found positive attitude toward life, life would continue here on earth. 

15 years later, I have still not forgotten the battle we fought against CF, and though we lost that battle, my heart is so happy to see the progress being made toward developing a cure. My sister-in-law with CF is over 40 and has a beautiful baby girl. The advances are amazing!!!

Yet, the research costs money! Lots of money!!! And, though the few dollars we can give might seem like a drop in the bucket, it all adds up!

Please help other husbands and wives accomplish their dreams and other parents see their grandchildren, etc. etc.
