I Run to Cure CF!
This is the first year that I am able to participate in the half marathon and I have made the commitment to run it and fundraise for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This will be a huge challenge for me, but nothing compared to what my sister Natalie has to deal with every day living with CF. I will be running in support for my sister and everyone else affected with CF. She was diagnosed with CF when she was a little baby and has yet to find a cure but they are getting so close to finding one. I know that my fundraising efforts will help find that cure and running for her will show her my support. I always see my dad, mom, aunts, grandparents, and so many other people I love fundraising and doing the races and I can't wait to be a part of that. My dad always inspires me and work toward a goal and this is my current goal. Now he can't say that I'm lazy!
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 Megan Rula - mrula@cff.org
