I Run to Cure CF!

Hi, I’m Lucas, and this is my very first race! I’m still working on my walking skills, but by race day, I’ll be up on my own two feet, toddling my way through the Pittsburgh Toddler Trot, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This cause is close to my heart before I’ve even really gotten going. My mom was named one of Pittsburgh’s Finest in 2024, raising money and awareness in the fight against CF, and my Aunt Abby works for the CF Foundation every single day to help find a cure. So this race isn’t just my first, it’s a family tradition I’m proud to be part of, one wobbly step at a time. Every step gets us closer to a world without CF. Thank you for supporting my first race and this incredible cause! 💙

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
