I Run to Cure CF!
The CF Foundation’s mission is to cure Cystic Fibrosis. In the past 30yrs, the life expectancy for people living with CF has doubled, which is the case for my nephew! They have invested millions of dollars in research, which is more than any other organization in the world.
My nephew is almost 33 yrs old. He is an avid golfer, and played select soccer as toddler, through high school. He attended college, and has a successful career. He and his family attribute his remarkable health and well being to CF Foundation’s support and dedication!
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
