Great Strides, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Great Strides is the largest CF fundraising event in the country. Great Strides, now in its 23rd year, raises critical funds for life-saving research, education and care programs for cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease.

Funds raised through Great Strides have helped spur dramatic advances in cystic fibrosis research and care. Fifty years ago, most children with CF did not live long enough to attend elementary school. Today, the median predicted age of survival is more than 37 years old.
