Our Breathe Team Story

Maureen Ballard

We are aunties who are running (or maybe walking) to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis! We are doing the 10K portion of the Honolulu Marathon on December 14, 2025! An auntie by blood and an auntie by association, we are committed to doing our part to raise the money that will fund the science that will lead to the cure for cystic fibrosis.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young.

We are doing our part to make a difference, will you help us?

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.
