My Breathe Team Story
Luke Roberts
Fundraising for 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon
Luke Roberts
My son was 9 days old when our world was turned upside and we found out he has CF. Since that day, I have committed to dedicating myself to finding a cure for CF and doing everything I can to teach him the importance of doing hard things, because he will have to endure so much everyday. This January, I am going to run in the Walt Disney World Half Marathon for the CF Foundation's Breathe Team. The Breathe Team is a group of people dedicated to finding a cure for CF and running for this great cause.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I'm running to help change that reality.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward - a cure for everyone with CF.
