My CF Cycle for Life Story

Jim Osten

Fundraising for 29th Annual CF Cycle for Life Massachusetts 2026

Donate

Jim Osten

On October 3rd I will be riding in my 26th  Cycle for Life bike ride fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. This will be the second ride in a new location in Lexington, Mass closer to the CF medical lab where a lot of the new treatments have been created!

For me i will be back at it probably going further then my legs want to take me!  it will be a gametime decision for the distance but probably taking another shot at the 65 miles!  Last year was a little painful and the flat tire at mile 60 didn't help - but no brain no pain (that i remember)!

The CF battle has seen positive results with the introduction of gene therapies that are having significant improvements for certain individuals with the CF gene. While there has been meaningful progress there is still a lot of work ahead to provide a road map for possible future therapies for a wider group. So, your donations are going to good use!

For those who are not aware Patty and I have been involved in fundraising efforts for CF for 35+ years. Patty more than I, as I participate and do what I am told (shocking I know!) Patty is the behind the scenes organizer. Patty actually went into labor with our oldest (Matt) while on a CF walk back in 1991 and now the whole family takes care of a rest stop on the ride!

Let’s continue to add tomorrows for them all!

With that said please support me!

Help me reach my fundraising goal!
