Welcome to my fundraising page!  
 

I am participating in the Portland Firefighter Stairclimb benefiting The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.   

In this event, firefighters race up the 40 floors and 800 stairs of Portland’s second tallest, and most iconic building, The US Bancorp Tower, affectionately known as “Big Pink”.  

Firefighter participants will be outfitted in over 70lbs of full turnout gear and SCBA to raise funds and awareness for those battling Cystic Fibrosis.   
 

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m climbing 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. 
 
Thank you for your consideration,  
 
Dr. Miguel Bautista
