My Great Strides Story

I am walking in memory of Vanessa Maria Blond who lost her battle to this disease on 2/16/2014 at the young age of 18.

And for Corrinne Blond, who is living her best life while having Cystic Fibrosis. She is smart, driven, and beautiful 22 yr old young woman. Corrinne will live a long productive life due to the Great Strides that are being made through research and new treatments.

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.
