Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

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.

Cystic fibrosis is a rare, genetic disease found in about 30,000 people in the U.S. causing persistent lung infections and limiting the ability to breath over time. Those living with this disease are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and co-workers --all struggling each day just to breathe and live normal, healthy lives. 

While there has been significant progress in treating this disease, there is still no cure and too many lives are cut far too short. By participating in the Pittsburgh Marathon on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,  you will run to help add tomorrows to the lives of all people living with cystic fibrosis today. Please make a difference and support us by donating to the fundraising campaign today! 

When you join our team you will receive the benefits:

  • Run coaches to help you cross that finish line
  • CFF Staff partner to assist you in your fundraising goals and cheer you on!
  • Group runs with different pace groups and to meet those in the CF Community
  • CFF incentives and t-shirts
  • The chance to make a difference in those living with CF

Then please consider joining the team!  For more information - reach out to Jean Schieman - jschieman@cff.org
