I Run to Cure CF!
I am very excited to share that I’ll be walking the PGH Half Marathon — my very first half marathon — in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!
This cause is incredibly personal to me. I’ve volunteered with the Foundation for the past 12 years, and today I’m proud to say I also work for this amazing organization. In 2023, I had the honor of being named a 50 Finest honoree, where I raised over $20,000 to help advance our mission of adding tomorrows for people living with cystic fibrosis.
Now, I’m taking on 13.1 miles to continue that fight.
Every step I take on race day will be for the individuals and families living with CF — for longer, healthier lives and ultimately, a cure. If you’d like to support me, cheer me on, or learn more about the mission, I’d be so grateful.
Here’s to first half marathons, strong communities, and making a difference together.
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
