Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Greater Illinois Chapter

A big thank you to the amazing shops helping bring our Sip & Smell the Roses fashion show to life!

We’re so grateful for Common Bond, Game Set Style, Maxine, M&E’s, and Meredith Jaye for sharing their style and creativity in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Chicago CF Cycle for Life is more than a bike ride; it’s a powerful movement fueled by people like you who are committed to changing the future for those living with cystic fibrosis.

“I ride for hope. Hope that one day there will be a cure for Logan and everyone else who has CF.”
- Isaac Groenendyk Team Captain and CF dad

Whether you ride 12 or 50 miles, return with a team or ride solo, your participation matters. Your efforts to raise awareness and funds so that we can get one step closer to curing CF. Your participation is critical to advance our mission, and this is the bike ride you don’t want to miss.

Let’s ride together again, and keep pushing toward a cure for CF. 💜https://fundraise.cff.org/chicagocycleforlife2026

It's Team Tuesday! We’re continuing to celebrate the incredible community behind Great Strides. From walk day and beyond, these teams show what it means to come together in support of the cystic fibrosis community.

A special shoutout to Team Rebecca, LIVNAGN, Team Max, and Mac Attack for the passion and dedication you bring to this mission. Because of you, we’re moving closer to a cure with every step.

We’re incredibly proud of Alex, Sarah, Kelsey and Dylan for representing the cystic fibrosis community at the Fibrosis Foundation ’s 18th annual Teen Advocacy Day.

They are sharing their story with Bill Foster, , Congresswoman Mary Miller, Senator Tammy Duckworth Senator Dick Durbin Mike Quigley to highlight the urgent need to increase funding for the National Institutes of Health to sustain a robust research pipeline, support innovation, and accelerate progress toward treatments for every person with CF — and ultimately, a cure.
