I Run to Cure CF!


This year, I’m running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.


Running gives me the chance to clear my mind, build meaningful connections, and keep my body strong. For many individuals living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), however, these benefits aren’t always accessible due to the physical challenges of the disease. That’s why I’m running—to support the Foundation’s vital research and its ongoing search for a cure, in a way that many with CF may not be able to.


I’m pushing myself with a personal best goal for both my fundraising total and my half marathon time. Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference and is appreciated!

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
