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.
My "WHY"
I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 8 months old, back in ’98 and at the time, that diagnosis came with a grim forecast. No guarantees past my 20s. But from the moment I drew that first breath, I knew my life had purpose.
CF has been a lifelong battle, silent some days, loud on others. But it’s never stopped me from reaching higher, breathing deeper, and pushing past what I thought was possible.
I run to bring hope to the CF community. To show that even in the face of pain and uncertainty, we can move forward, one breath, one step at a time.
This isn’t just a race. It’s a declaration: that life with CF is still worth fighting for. And I’m here to prove it.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
