I Run to Cure CF!
I am running for Shay and all of the warriors living with Cystic Fibrosis. Allowing myself the time and space to run and think about, be thankful, grieve, be scared, be hopeful, and just be has been the most therapeutic experience I have given myself since Shay was diagnosed and I am thankful I am able to run and breathe deep and raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for my 3rd year and counting. Shay is my ultimate warrior and I am in awe of her. I want her to always know that we are in this together.
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
