Josies Journey

My name is Gabrielle Woodward and I stride for my daughter Josephine who has cystic fibrosis. She is currently two years old with the biggest personality. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis just 8 days after she was born. She has a double mutation of delta 508. She is currently thriving with the help of medication and the effort of her team at Children's Hospital. She inspires her family friends every day and she is such a strong warrior. We stride for a cure for not only her, but all the cystic fibrosis warriors around the world. 

Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis – a rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe. 

With supporters like you by our side, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation continues to lead the way in the fight against CF, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. The life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. Despite this progress, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies either because their disease is too advanced or because their specific genetic mutations will not respond. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease.  

We walk in Great Strides for them.
