My Breathe Team Story

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m running to help change that reality. I am a parent of a young adult with CF that is able to take advantage of the modulator drugs that are helping him to live a full, vibrant life. I want this for all people with CF. I am also turning 60 this year I can't think of a better way to bring awareness to CF cure initiatives than to run a 5K in Grandma's marathon the year I am turning 60! Celebrate with me!
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.
