Our walkers, team leaders, volunteers, and so many more make Great Strides more than just an event — it’s a movement. Alongside our Great Strides sponsors: Vertex, AbbVie, and Nestle Health Science, we can help end cystic fibrosis.

This Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, we are inspired by everyone working to make CF stand for “Cure Found.”

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lauren Molasky — an adult with cystic fibrosis and a longtime advocate, writer, and artist who shared her journey with CF to raise awareness, raise funds, and support others.

Growing up with CF, Lauren initially kept her experience with the disease private before choosing to speak openly about the realities of life with CF. She shared her journey through writing, public speaking, and advocacy. She received the Foundation’s Breath of Life Award, galvanized community members at events, and contributed to the CF Community Blog.

Through her poetry collection, The Sky Cracked Open, her advocacy work within the CF community, and her openness following a double-lung transplant, Lauren fostered connection, raised awareness, and offered hope. Even in hard moments, Lauren continued to advocate for greater understanding of CF and progress in treatment and care.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Lauren’s family, friends, and loved ones. Her words and presence left a lasting mark on our community, and she will be missed.

This CF Awareness Month, we’re shedding light on the unseen struggles of cystic fibrosis. Bradley Poole navigated life with CF alongside anxiety, OCD, and depression. Through treatment, mental health support, and fitness, he’s learned how to turn struggle into strength.

“I was born with cystic fibrosis, so hospitalizations, treatments, and uncertainty were part of my normal. But what people didn’t see was the mental side of that fight. The anxiety, the depression, and the constant question in the back of my mind: Why me? There was also the fear that came with it — fear of dying young, fear of not having control over my future.”

Read Bradley’s story:

I’ve spent my life navigating cystic fibrosis alongside anxiety, OCD, and depression — struggles that once led me to numb everything with alcohol until a wake‑up call changed everything. Through treatment, mental health support, and fitness, I’ve learned how to turn struggle into strength.
