I Run to Cure CF!

This is now my 13th year running the Pittsburgh marathon for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I started running when my daughter was diagnosed with CF before she was even born, and have now continued to run in support of her and everyone affected by CF. The foundation has made some amazing progress and new drugs have been showing great results. We are so close to curing this disease and every dollar helps get us that much closer.  My family appreciates all the support over the years and we honestly wouldn't be where we are without fundraisers like these.  Thank you! 

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
