ABOUT
Making Change Possible
Created in 2009 by Veronica and family, Sam’s Story has made tremendous impact thanks to the help of donors and volunteers in the suburban Philadelphia and southern New Jersey communities. During the four years we were active in Great Strides, we raised around $200,000 and were top fundraisers in our chapter. Further, since 1987, the Grosse family as a whole have raised over $500,000 for cystic fibrosis. A decade after the creation of Sam's Story, Veronica and Holly Grosse are re-vamping the team for Piper's Angels Foundation in South Florida and hoping to be better than ever.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an inherited life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. In November 2009, we lost our older sister, Samantha, to complications related to the disease at the age of 22.
In June of 2024, our team is participating in the revered Crossing for CF event. “The Crossing For Cystic Fibrosis is a long-distance endurance paddle challenge and international championship race that takes paddlers 80 miles across the Gulf Stream from Bimini in the Bahamas back to the Florida mainland.” Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of CF patients and families globally.
