My grandson, Wesley, turns 8 in May.  Like any other 8 year old, he is full of energy!  He plays soccer, basketball, and baseball, but also enjoys building things and gaming! Unlike any other 8 year old, his daily routine includes swallowing enzyme pills whenever he eats, other medicines, and chest compression treatments.  He is one of approximately 30,000 Americans living with Cystic Fibrosis. Great Strides is an annual event to raise awareness about CF and money that goes toward research. 

Real progress has been made for those who have CF.  Wesley takes a new drug that has improved his health and reduces other medicatios, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much work to do. I will not stop striding until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal!
