I Run to Cure CF!

I love a challenge and signed up for my first half marathon!  This goal is not an easy one, but either is having cystic fibrosis. I am inspired by other runners who have cystic fibrosis and fight to breathe. I know my finish line will be extra good knowing that I've helped to make a finish line for curing CF a shorter distance. 

Description

Cystic fibrosis is a rare, genetic disease found in about 40,000 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,  I run to help add tomorrows to the lives of all people living with cystic fibrosis today. Please make a difference and support me by donating to my fundraising campaign today! 

Then please consider joining the team!  For more information - reach out to Fallon DeRiggi - fderiggi@cff.org
