My Great Strides Story
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, including my son Daniel.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF are now living longer than ever thanks to advancements in medical research, their disease can become more complicated, leading to longer lasting and even serious health issues as they grow older.
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 each breakthrough. That is why we must keep going strong and continue to make great strides.
Your support makes a difference.
By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all, and best of all, better days for Daniel. Please consider joining us and helping make CF finally stand for Cure Found.
