Help Colin raise money

For participating in Big Peach Sizzler

My Story…

My name is Colin Penuel. I am 34 years old living with cystic fibrosis. I am running the 2023 Big Peach Sizzler 10K to raise funds for Miles for Cystic Fibrosis. I have always been an active person and I started running in 2010. Exercise has had a significant positive impact on my health and has helped to keep me out of the hospital on multiple occasions. Through my running I hope to inspire other people with CF to exercise and be active as well as to raise funds to provide assistance for other people with CF to be able to afford the equipment, memberships, lessons, etc. to stay active.  

The medical advancements to help treat people with CF have been truly remarkable but there is still no cure for cystic fibrosis. I have personally felt how much exercise has helped my own health and I have witnessed how exercise has helped other people with CF. CF requires lots of daily care and the treatments and medications are very costly. As a result, things like gym memberships, exercise equipment, swimming lessons, sports teams, etc. can be out of reach financially for many individuals and families living with CF. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help people living with CF live longer and stronger lives. All donations are tax deductible. 


Thank you very much!

Description

I'm participating in the Big Peach Sizzler 10K & 5K to make an immediate and significant difference in the lives of children and adults living with cystic fibrosis (CF) through the work of Miles for CF.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that turns simply breathing into a struggle. There is no cure.

Miles for CF helps put food on the table for CF families in financial distress, and helps CF fighters build longer stronger lives through grants to support regular exercise and a healthy active lifestyle.

Will you join me in the fight as we help people with CF breathe a little easier?  Thank you!
