I Run to Cure CF!
My granddaughter Emma is 23. She seems to be living her best life but it’s hard not to be concerned for the challenges she faces daily.
TRIKAFTA has had a positive impact in her Cystic Fibrosis (CF) journey. However, Emma is still faced with CF related diabetes, the need for pancreatic enzymes, beathing treatments, and an occasional bout with low pulmonary functions that require a hospital stay.
Emma is an adult, but it can still be a lot to manage. Team Emma is raising funds to aid in the research for all CF genetic mutations and related CF issues, many listed above.
Please help Emma’s grandma Debbie, her dad (Don) and cousin (Buggie – Tyler) reach our team goal of $3000. No contribution is too small.

We will continue this effort until CF means CURE FOUND.

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
