My Story…
This year I’m running the Falmouth Road Race for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for a deeply personal reason.
My sister Theresa lived her entire life with cystic fibrosis. In July, she passed away from the disease.
Theresa fought cystic fibrosis for decades. That fight meant daily treatments, medications, hospital visits, infections that would knock most people down for weeks, and a constant battle just to breathe freely. Yet if you knew her, that is rarely what you saw. What you saw was her humor, her stubborn strength, and her ability to keep going even when life kept asking more of her than it ever should have.
Living with cystic fibrosis demands a level of toughness most people never have to develop. Theresa carried that weight her entire life. She fought through it with courage and grace, and she showed everyone around her what resilience really looks like.
My sister Sharon is still fighting that same battle every single day.
Cystic fibrosis is relentless. It slowly damages the lungs, makes breathing harder, and turns simple things most of us take for granted into daily challenges. Behind every person living with CF is a family that learns to fight alongside them.
The progress that has been made against this disease over the past few decades happened because people refused to accept that this was the best we could do. Scientists, doctors, families, and communities have pushed research forward step by step.
Running the Falmouth Road Race is my small part in continuing that push.
If you are able to contribute, your support helps fund the research and treatment that will one day end cystic fibrosis for good. Families like mine are counting on that day.
Theresa deserved that future. Sharon is still fighting for it.
Thank you for helping carry this fight forward.
