I Run to Cure CF!
I’m excited to share that I’ll be running my first ever 5K this May as part of the Pittsburgh Marathon weekend! I’m proud to be doing it while raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the fight against cystic fibrosis (CF). They fund groundbreaking research that has led to life-changing treatments, support a nationwide network of accredited care centers, and provide vital services that help patients and families navigate insurance, treatment, and financial challenges.
As many of you know, I’m currently a first-year PhD student, and supporting research that improves and saves lives is close to my heart.
I’m hoping to raise $250 to support the incredible work being done to fight CF. Every dollar truly makes a difference, and any amount means so much.
If you’re able to contribute, I would be so grateful for your support and your encouragement as I take on my first 5K!
Thank you so much,
Maddie
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
