My Great Strides Story
Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. One of them happens to be my grandson Mason, who faces the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for him and all those living with cystic fibrosis.
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.!Mason has been extremely fortunate to be able to benefit from these advancements-yet it is NOT a cure and 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 help support Mason's Marchers!
By supporting my fundraising goal, you have an opportunity in your lifetime to be part of ending this disease. Please consider joining us and help make medical history.
