I Run to Cure CF!

Hello friends and family! I'm so excited to jump back into road running with the Pittsburgh Marathon 2026! My goal is to raise at least $4000 (updated goal!!) for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, an organization that means so much to me as a person with CF. Support from the CF Foundation for new genetic modulators has allowed me to not only survive into my 30s, but thrive - I'm running more than ever, with several road marathons and quite a few trail ultra-marathons under my belt. I can't wait to run 26.2 miles through Pittsburgh and across the Pitt campus (my alma mater). Together we can help make CF stand for cure found - thank you so much for your support!  

Huge thank you to everyone who has already donated! Gotta keep upping that goal! 

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
