Help Christopher raise money

For participating in 2020 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

We decided to take on this challenge to help find a cure for all people living with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. The Foundation’s goal is for every person with CF to have a treatment that addresses the underlying cause of their disease—and one day, a cure. Thanks to the newly approved drug therapy, Trikafta, more than 90 percent of the CF community now have a treatment for the underlying cause of their illness. However, approximately 7 percent of people with CF will still be unable to benefit from current treatments, and will require different therapies to fix the underlying cause of their disease -- which is why your support is needed now more than ever. Simply click the "Donate" button to donate to our fundraising goal!!

Description

The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.
