I Run to Cure CF!
I’m running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of my longtime friend, Jean Schieman. I’ve known Jean since elementary school, and I’ve watched her dedicate so much of her life to this organization and to making a difference in the lives of others. Jean has devoted years to this cause, and I’m incredibly proud to call her my friend. I’m running to honor all the good she has done and to remind her that she matters, too. She has spent so much of her life supporting others—it’s my turn to support her and the cause she cares so deeply about. Every mile will be for Jean and for all the lives she has touched along the way. 💙
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
