I Run to Cure CF!
This year I will attempt to run my first full marathon, in memory of the many courageous people with Cystic Fibrosis who have given me the privilege to be a health care partner on their journey. In a special way, I am training and will be running in memory of people with CF whose battle has ended. By raising money, I support continued cutting-edge research to provide improved quality of life and one day, a cure for all people with CF.
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
