Great Strides™

We make strides because others take strides! Every year across Canada, friends, family and co-workers of people with cystic fibrosis lace up their walking shoes to participate in Great Strides™: Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis. It’s the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s largest national fundraising event. In 2009, thousands walked, strolled, and stepped to the finish line and raised $2.2 million along the way.

Every year, TEAMs (Together Everyone Achieves More) of friends, family, neighbours and co-workers join forces to fight cystic fibrosis. They come together in the spirit of fun, passion and commitment to support Foundation research and care. Often they do it in the most creative ways – coming up with friendly competitions -- Biggest Fundraiser … Loudest Team Cheer … Most Colourful Outfits -- between team-mates and other teams to up the ante. Start forming your own TEAM today to prepare for the next Great Strides™ walk.
