About GREAT STRIDES

In cities all across the United States, tens of thousands of people just like you are showing their commitment to "adding tomorrows every day" to the lives of those with cystic fibrosis through the simple act of walking.

Year after year, volunteers make every GREAT STRIDES walk site both fun and successful. Their dedication has helped GREAT STRIDES become one of the country's most effective and efficient fund-raising efforts. Since the first GREAT STRIDES walk in 1989, more than $180 million has been raised to support the vital research and care programs of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

You can help us reach our 2008 national fund-raising goal of $40 million by participating in a GREAT STRIDES walk near you. Register online today and you'll have the opportunity to use our interactive fund-raising tools. You also can invite walkers to join your team, request online donations, and check your fund-raising status.

Once you register, there are skilled staff at your local CF Foundation chapter who are available to assist you with your fund-raising efforts. Contact your local chapter to learn more about the Foundation's mission, or call us at (800) FIGHT CF.
