Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis

Please help in any way you are able. No amount is too small, it all adds up. You can donate by clicking on the link on the right...please feel free to pass this along. If you are interested in joining out team and walking with us on May 15th, please let me know ASAP, as I need to order shirts.

Suggested amounts based on information about Cheyenne
$9.19: Chey was born on 9/19/2000.


$5.11: Chey weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces when she was born .


$4: Chey weighed 4 pounds at 1 month due to failure to thrive.


$37: the current lifespan predicated for those with CF is 37 years, if born today.


$74: DOUBLE the life expectancy for CF…Chey's going to get there with your help.


$9.50: Chey has beaten this disease for 9 1/2 years already.


$5: The age Chey was when she was finally diagnosed with CF.

$40.05: the number of miles, one way, we drive to St. Louis, Mo.(405 miles per Mapquest) for treatment at St. Louis Children's Hospital.


$2: Chey needs her two lungs to remain healthy to beat this disease and they want to remove one of them.



$60: the number of minutes we spend each day on breathing treatments.


$20: the number of hours Chey spends getting IV treatment.


$50: The number of pills Chey takes daily to keep her healthy.
