My Great Strides Story
Hello! I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis after my new born screening. I have been treated by the CF team at Omaha children’s hospital since I was just 12 days old.
I am doing very well with all of the medications and chest percussion therapy sessions my mom and dad have made me endure.
For those of you who don’t know Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. 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.
Currently, There is no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.
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.
