My Great Strides Story

Meet Baize! The happiest, smiliest, most amazing baby boy ever. At 32 weeks pregnant we found out Baize more than likely has CF due to an intestinal blockage found on an ultrasound. Baize had a rough start undergoing 2 surgeries and 62 days in the NICU due to this. He is a a fighter! 

Now that our boy is all healed up and THRIVING, we are doing all we can to spread awareness and raise funds to find a cure for everyone living with this disease.

Thank you so much for your support! It means so much to us. 

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!
