My Great Strides Story

Madeline Grace, Maddie, Maddie Grace, Maddie Moo, Aunt Moo, Mad  

So many names for one remarkable young woman.  I was blessed to be Maddie’s father.  She was loved by many and made friends all along her journey to breathe.  I have always drawn strength from her as she battled CF.  She was a fighter.  Please join us in helping to find new treatments that improve the lives of those stricken with this disease.

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I walk for them.

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. Yet, 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 support me!

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.
