My Story…
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. At present, there is no cure.
CF causes various effects on the body, but mainly affects the digestive system and lungs. *Cystic Fibrosis Canada
One of my very best friends, Chloe, was born with CF. She fought hard for many years and didn’t let the terrible disease dampen her spirits. She was the funniest and most fun person I’ve ever met! In 2009, a few weeks before her 27th birthday, we lost her.
In May 2021 I will run my first marathon. I’d like to raise $10 for every kilometer I will run (42.2km) in her honour, to help find a cure. Thanks for helping me achieve this goal!
