Our team is driven by a dream that one day, every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life. You can help us reach that goal!
Our Great Strides Story
Our daughter Norah was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) from the newborn screening and Courtney was actually diagnosed with CF two years ago too!
Since then, we have completely immersed ourselves into the world of cystic fibrosis. Some of our closest friends have been made through this community! With each passing day, we are acutely aware of the privilege Norah has growing up in today's times as a person with CF. The intentionality of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to fund research and new lifesaving drugs is not lost on us. Everything we currently know, all the treatments we use for Norah daily, are 100% because of the funding and dedication poured out by the CF Foundation.
We are grateful for those who have gone before us, who have taught us more about the disease, and given us the hope of a bright future. We walk to give back to the CF Foundation after all they have given to us in the last 2.5 years, and help support the future of CF medicine. We walk to give more happy, healthy years to all people living with cystic fibrosis, as well as their family and friends.

As much as would love for everyone to join us in fundraising and physically be with us for the walk in Addison, TX, we understand some people may have financial constraints and/or prior commitments that weekend. You do not need to donate any money in order to join us at the Walk on May 20th, nor do you need to be with us in person to join our fundraising team. We love and appreciate all of your support; whatever that may look like to you.
As a member of our team, you are joining a growing community of people committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found!

Thank you for loving and walking with us over the years. And thank you for all of your continued support in finding better treatments and a cure for cystic fibrosis!
Robert, Courtney, & Norah Baldridge
