Important Note on Attendance at Foundation Events: To reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events,
we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel,
covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection.
Medical evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and indirect contact as well as through droplets that
travel short distances when a person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed decline in lung function.
To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation’s attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to attend
the indoor portion of a Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time. For the outdoor portion, the Foundation recommends that all people
with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times
Ride through some of the most scenic parts of the Jersey Shore with Cycle for Life! Cyclists have
two route options: 32 or 60 miles. This event empowers participants to take action and
demonstrate their fight in finding a cure in a tangible, emotional and powerful way.

Great Strides is the CF Foundation’s largest fundraising event. It provides opportunities
for all people within a local community to get involved forming teams with friends, family
and colleagues. Walk day is a fun celebration that includes a healthy walk and festivities
