My Breathe Team Story
Fundraising for 2025 AJC Peachtree Road Race
Amanda Hively
Most are familiar with my boys' story. They were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis while in utero. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic disease that still has no cure. Mason and Grayson have already been dealt several complications related to CF. Despite their obstacles, they continue to inspire those around them with their abundant amount of energy. Today they are thriving as a result of the monumental therapies developed with help from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
I am running the 2025 AJC Peachtree Road Race in honor of my little heroes. I would appreciate any donations so we can make CF stand for Cure Found. For those not familiar, below is a brief description of what cystic fibrosis is and how it affects those living with CF.
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.
