Simply CF : Why We Walk

Walking is something that most all of us take for granted and the power of a single step never really crosses our mind. But a simple step for some can symbolize so very much - like for people whose lives have been impacted by cystic fibrosis. 

Great Strides for CF is so much more than just a walk. It's a significant act of empowerment, of tenacity, and of hope. Within each step lies an untouchable determination dedicated to fighting for those with CF. Fighting to give everyone impacted by CF another day to pursue and live out their dreams uninhibited by a disease vying to steal every breath. 

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was established in 1955 and has been at the forefront of drug research and development - leading to decades being added to the lives of people with CF. Because of the fervent support of friends and family of those with CF, the CF Foundation has been able to invest in the futures of those living with the disease - being on the cutting edge of research and a cure. Without this continued support and the creation of these life-extending therapies, many of our lives would be immensely different. It's safe to say that some of us may not be here today without such support. Each step that has been taken in the last 30+ years has made a significant impact on each life that is affected by CF. It is for each step we are so thankful.

But we are not finished.

Life-changing therapies and drugs are being created at this very moment. Drugs that could potentially give us the possibility of more steps. Walk with us this Great Strides season. Take a step for CF and every person whose life has been changed because of the disease.
