I Run to Cure CF!
Hello,
I am going to be running in the 2024 UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half-Marathon in support of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!
I ran the Pittsburgh Marathon in 2022, and the Pittsburgh Half-Marathon in 2023. This will be my first time running for a cause, and I’m so excited to help raise money for such a great foundation.
The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.
Please consider donating, and playing a crucial role in the effort to find a cure for cystic fibrosis!
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
