My Breathe Team Story

Nicole Swartz

Fundraising for 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon

Donate

Nicole Swartz

To kick off 2026, I’ll be trading the streets of New York for a little Disney magic, running the Walt Disney World Marathon as part of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Breathe Team. This will be my third marathon, and my first outside NYC, after having to defer the Chicago Marathon due to injury this past fall. I couldn’t think of a better way to get back out there than running through the parks, surrounded by the joy (and characters, yes that includes my family!) that make Disney so special.


I’m running to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, an organization leading the fight to find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF) a rare genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, making it difficult to breathe and fight infections. Thanks to the Foundation’s groundbreaking research and support programs, people with CF are living longer and healthier lives than ever before. But there’s still work to do, and every step helps move us closer to a world without CF.


Every mile I run, and every dollar raised, helps make that possible. Your support, whether through a donation or simply cheering me on, truly means the world.


Thank you for helping me make some marathon magic happen for an incredible cause!

✨🏃‍♀️💙
