I Run to Cure CF!
On February 28th 2003, my cousin, Sammy Irvine, passed away at the age of 27 from Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Just 20 days later, her brother, Stuart Culshaw, passed away aged just 22 from the same condition. My auntie, Jackie Culshaw, was also diagnosed with the condition and sadly passed away in 2007 after caring for Sammy and Stuart throughout their lives.
I will be running the Pittsburgh Marathon in memory of Sammie, Stuart, and Jackie. Any donation is greatly 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
