My Great Strides Story

In November 2017, my family was excited to meet our newest member, Jacob.  He came into our lives surrounded by love and two weeks later his diagnosis with Cystic Fibrosis shook us to our foundation.  We all had a crash course in this disease and what it would mean for this little boy.

Now, six and a half years later, we have adjusted as best we can and Jacob lives as normal a life as possible thanks to his amazing parents.  We support the CF Foundation not only in hopes that they will continue to help kids who have this disease live longer, healthier lives, but so that they can help support their families as well.  

I love Jacob with all my heart and appreciate all the support from friends and family for this worthy cause!  Please consider donating or walking with us and raising money for this amazing foundation.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Great Strides, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.

Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The 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.  

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.
