GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fund-raising event. This year, as Chair of the GREAT STRIDES Walk and Silent Auction in Shepherdstown, WV, I hope to achieve our fund-raising goal of $60,000. Our family and supporters will work to raise that money with the Walk and Silent Auction, a Chili Cook-off, and other wrap-around events throughout the year.

I'm personally motivated to find a cure for CF because my 10 year-old daughter, Faith, is a victim of this fatal disease. Please help me raise the money that buys the research that improves lives and buys time until a cure can be found! Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively, as about $ .96 of every dollar you contribute to Great Strides events will be used to fund the vital research programs of the CF Foundation.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click the "Click to Donate" button on this page to make a donation that will be credited to my team, Team Faith. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF. However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. That's why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found - sooner rather than later.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and GREAT STRIDES!
