I Run to Cure CF!
This has been a tough few months—PT appointments, tests, and way too many shots—all trying to figure out why my body hasn’t bounced back from dual calf/soleus sprains.
Safe to say… this isn’t how I imagined marathon weekend going 😅
But here’s the thing: I still get to show up.
This Saturday, I’ll be walking the Pittsburgh Marathon 5K with Breathe Team, supporting people living with cystic fibrosis—people who don’t get a break from the challenges their bodies face.
And this experience? It’s given me a whole new level of empathy for that fight.
So I’m asking for a little help. If you’re able to donate, share, or cheer me on, it would mean so much—not just to me, but to the incredible individuals and families this supports.
Even when things don’t go to plan, we keep moving forward 💛
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
